  1. Thanks, Russell. I am unimpressed with the fact that Decca did not encode CDs with the same 48/24. In 2008 they reissued Rheingold in 96/24... Anyway, I have been comparing some parts of Siegfried and Act 1 Vorspiel is vastly superior than on 1997 issue. The brass, for instance, do not sound so brash and the strings section acquires more body. However, when I was listening to the 3rd Act, at Brünnhilde's words "Oh, wussest du, Lust der Welt", I jumped from my chair as I heard a couple of clicks and thought it might be due to a faulty impression of my CD. I played the 1997 and, at same point, I heard the same clicking noise I had never noticed before. I guess this time I was more focussed, trying to hear every detail. Will continue to explore in a few days. Tomorrow my ROH Ring cycle begins and I don't want to spoil the enjoyment of the 4 evenings by listening to something so incredible that nothing can compare to. Certainly not nowadays, anyway.

  2. Thanks, Russell. The only thing I didn't get yet is this: do the CDs have the same 24-bit/48kHz encode as the files on the DVD? If not, I would have to considering buying a Blu-ray DVD player as well, at some point. BTW, I am sucker for fancy packaging too: I am expecting my box to arrive today ;-) Roberto
  3. Thanks! What a disappointment! Definitively not worth investing on it just for the different packaging.

  5. Hi Russell, did you find out if the Ring on Blu-ray contains files ripped at 24/96? Was going to purchase it this wknd but I need to make sure that it's worth getting it... Thanks
