OK what are the differences in the mastering of the latest offerings
from Audio Fidelity between the CD layer and the SACD layer?

You mean that you can't hear them?

You mean you can?

I don't own any of them,

Obviously.

and see no compelling reason to invest in them or a
player for them.

Of course not. youv'e never really shown any interest in good music or better
sound. Why change now?

Given that the history of SACD is technically so dreary
vis-a-vis gratuitous sonic differences, some interesting claims would have
to be made to raise my personal interest in them above zero.

Your claim was that all SACDs had different masterings for the different
layers. So far, you have offered no evidence that the SACDs from Audio Fidelity
have different masterings for the different layers. You really have no idea do
you?

I just took a look at the Audio Fidelity web site, and it looks like
business as usual. IOW, a continuation of the long-standing practice of
separately mastered and therefore different-sounding SACD and CD layers.

I anything on the website that claims or even suggests that the mastering was
any different for the different layers of any of their SACDs. If I missed
something feel free to cite it. Otherwise you have nothing but your own
posturing.

If
you have some contrary evidence, be sure to provide it.

You are the one claiming the different layers were mastered differently you
prove your assertion.

Cite any differences in the layers besides the format.

Since this is your area of interest S888wheel, cite any evidence that you
might have indicating that they differ only in terms of format.

Your claim, your burden of proof.

They were mastered by the same guy with the same equipment in the
same mastering suite during the same mastering sessions.

Irrelevant.

Wrong.

Prove it.

Prove the obvious? Why? You really can't figure out why it is more likely that
the mastering is the same if it was mastered by the same guy in the same room
with the same euipment during the same sessions?
