Who heard them already: New Fantasy SACDs

[skeith]

anyone have any more comments on these Fantasy hybrid SACDs?

I really like the SACD sound of the four that I have. I confess I have not heard the cd layer. . . . I just pop the SACD into my universal player and listen to the SACD layer. Very very nice. Have an "ease" to the sound that I have not heard elsewhere.

I just recently picked a whole bunch of these Fantasy SACDs. There seems to be a lot of variability in overall sound quality. None of them have been "bad" by any means, but none have gotten a "Wow!" out of me either.

I intend to get all of these that they decide to make if only because I generally like the sound of my SACDs.

Later,

BTW, regarding the off-topic comments in this thread regarding Steve Hoffman's forum moderators. They seem to have gotten more lenient since I wrote what I did back in this thread in 2004... Either that or everyone's gotten the hang of what can be said. I still don't like the fact that Steve's word is gospel, but I guess that's what happens when you open your own forum. He has some crazy ideas on audio, particualrly his endosement of special rocks that you put on top of your amplifier to make it sound better.

But damn, does he know how to make a nice-sounding CD!
