Doors SACD's
- Thread starter defride

Totally incorrect information. These were archived to DSD directly from the analog master tapes by Analogue Productions.
The only exception is the first album, and that is because every known copy was running to fast.
The ONLY way to produce the album running at the correct speed was to remix it.
The DVD-As are ALL remixes. The only way to get the ORIGINAL mixes in hi rez is the HDTracks downloads at 96/24 PCM,
which sound amazing, or the SACDs.
I know and they sound great plus the cd's are worlds better then the original cd releases which were barely above doo-doo.
I have two of the Analogue Productions SACD's: "The Doors"; and "LA Woman"
As with most all of the AP SACD's I've purchased so far, they are extremely good sonically. I plan on buying lots more AP SACD's as they're released as IMO AP produces some of the best quality high resolution albums available.

Thanks all, for the feedback, reason for the query is that the box set of SACDs is available for pre-order. A friend was due to drop LA Woman around today and figured it'd be good to hear what people felt about the rest before taking the plunge.
Hi Andre Marc, the information passed in the op was from the friend,
I now have the LA Woman SACD (Analogue Productions) and it does sound good. I'll quote from the inlay;
''The multichannel program comes from the original 96k, 24-bit files mixed and mastered by Bruce Botnick for the DVD Audio Doors/Perception release. Those mixes were made from the original, multi-track, 15 i.p.s. analog master tapes. For the SACDs, the mixes were up-sampled without filters to DSD.''
I've asked and this is where he got his info from. It'd be great to hear that this is incorrect?

Your friend is CORRECT..but this refers to the MULTI CHANNEL MIXES. The Stereo mixes are the ORIGINALS, from the analog masters.
Chad made no bones about the fact the multi channel mixes, which he considered just a bonus feature, are from the 96/24 multi track archives that Bruce Botnick.
Rest assured, the STEREO mixes are true DSD captures, not PCM upsampled.

That's great to hear, thanks. LA Woman sounds very good so the box set's a must.
Trust me, it is on my list! I am just deciding on an SACD player. I had at the flagship Marantz here for a while but was
just sent back.
I am leaning towards the Marantz Limited Edition 15s2B. There are not too many other players in the $2000 range.
And probably none this good.
Andre, there is also the Oppo BDP-105 for only $1,199 :b ...Plays the multichannel SACD layer as well.
...And hi-res DSD audio music files too.

I've an EMM CDSA, love it, even as it drops in value like a stone LOL. A friend has a Marantz 8003, great for the money, expect their upper end models are also good though no experience of them.
Ah yes. I saw it in TAS. I have Opp Blu Ray player in my home theater.
Thanks for reminding me. The purist in me says all the extra stuff..video, networking, file playback etc might
compromise pure SACD two channel playback, but that is just in theory. I should check this out.
That is a great unit. I have not heard a bad EMM player. The Marantz 8004 is even a step up from the 8003, and that goes for a $900.
However, I think the Marantz Reference players are in a different league.
