So much for Chris Potter...

Thanks for the explanation, Colin. You're right, the sound of a lot of remasters and new CDs is crap, maximized/compressed like hell; it harms the music beyond repair

And it's the 30th anniversary of his untimely death (August 8, 1975).

Colin, I may have missed it, and I'm not an engineer, but what about: never maximize sound levels to the point of clipping and never use compression. Many modern (re)masters are so LOUD that it hurts my ears.

The 5 Analogue Productions SACDs are all gone.

Sad news - again...

You can transfer the balance in one currency into a balance in another currency before making any payments.

The Miles MFSL is gone.

I don't think I will, it probably wouldn't sound very good in my very analytical/critical high-end system and I want to avoid any negative influences on my enjoyment of the music (there are too many already), but thanks for the suggestion.

Kevin, I don't have an SACD player and abandoned my plan to buy one. Besides, I have multiple versions of these albums and decided to sell most duplicates.

I'm selling these hybrid SACDs from my own collection. They have a CD layer and can be played on regular CD players. Please note that most jewel cases have scuffs.

In my case, the sound. Sorry to spoil the fun, but to my ears it sounds LOUD and compressed.

I fully agree. To my ears this is one of Ron McMaster's worst remastering jobs, but the music's excellent.

Lon's right.

The Clark is gone.

The Rollins is gone, but the Clark is still available.

Happy birthday, Kevin!

I always assumed that once the lease expired, they had to stop selling the sets - regardless of what they had in stock. ← I think you're right.

I purchased a second Mobley set earlier this year (as with the Byrd/Adams set, I sold my first Mobley set a few years ago), and the set number is 3211.

The Mobley and JJJ sets are wonderful, and the Roach isn't bad either. Grab them while you can.

Played part of this set again last night, and it sounded better than I remembered. It's one of McMaster's better efforts. The music's great.

So, are you now going to sue him?

What's wrong with the sound on that set Hank? It sounds very good to me. ← Errr... My name is Hans, not Hank Well, like I said, I didn't like the sound compared to my TOCJs. The set sounded a tad too bright and tinny - though I must admit that the TOCJs sounded too warm, with the higher frequencies rolled-off too much. I must also admit that I'm one of those who generally don't like Ron McMaster's mastering jobs. ← Sorry about that. It must be because I am thinking of buying the Hans Mobley set! ←
