Just going to say it...bought a CD today. Maybe the first time in 10 years.

I probably would just stream.

SACD I would probably buy though if I was getting a CD. However I’m not even sure how those work, like does a normal car CD player even play it in higher definition?

like dvd and blue ray. You can put a dvd in a blue ray player, it’s still a dvd 

You need an SACD player,  which is expensive.  I have a bunch of SACD rips that are very nice.  They play at 32bit, 384 kHz. That's the max of my DAC, but there is more resolution available.  I think an SACD maxes at 2.2mhz.

Figured that would be the case.

Thanks I knew I had seen it somewhere. Thought CD was maybe a bad word these days.

All Ages in Camden was shuttered, much to my dismay. Went to five record stores yesterday that were the dogs bollocks quite frankly. I was visiting the Tower of London this morning and took one last crack at Rough Trade East.

I usually skip the I kill children song!
Drug me is fantastic. I saw a dude with a dk shirt on and he's a bassist and said their bassist kills it. Made me pay attention to it and yes. Pretty nuts what he does.

Toast! 
Oh my- major surprise for me for some reason.  I somehow anticipated this would be good not great.  I have to say, I could do without "Boom, Boom, Boom", and the "Quit" isn't as strong as the rest, yet as an opener, it serves kind of well in a way to work as a prelude to some terrific numbers.  "How Ya Doin'" especially.  That one ripped me right up, tears and all.

4 1/2 out of 5 for me.  Take off "Boom", make it one disc, and this is a top NY/Crazy Horse contender, without a doubt. Needless to say, I AM STOKED!

Does anyone have the 2018 Pink Floyd- Pulse set?  I'm thinking of picking that up but would like to hear some reviews on the pressing quality etc.

Loujoe

It's a beautiful set. Sounds great. Imo.

Did you ever join the Kickstarter where they funded their record?  Pollygonwanaland.  I got to join on that one.

No, I just recently started getting into them. Am definitely keeping an eye out moving forward in hopes that they do more stuff like that. I do own Pollygonwannaland though, and love how it's just as diverse as all of their stuff.

What is everyone's opinion on the debate surrounding Mobile Fidelity? Apparently the rumor is that for years they have mislead consumers by not being transparent about their mastering process and that they've been using digital at some point during the vinyl production process. There are some videos that are supposed to be released on YouTube later this week that clarify things but it just sounds like a PR nightmare for MoFi. Will be interesting to see what happens from here. Pretty much the worst news they could have hoped for with the recent news of their upcoming record plant opening in California.

Pretty much. A lot of the controversy started when people began question just how they could pull off a One Step of Thriller with 40,000 copies if it was going to be all analog because Sony is notorious for being very strict about their master tapes and that is a lot of copies any way you look at it. Here are some videos on the debate-

Is this criticism about MOFI broadly, or only about the One Steps?  I ask because I know Brothers in Arms is all digital and I bet that's one of the best selling MOFI's ever.
