Reggie Sears has a question and “The King” responds causing a clean up aisle 9.

You’ll note that unless his kids are doing something that earns money STeVE can’t be bothered to pay attention to them.
Who here would buy an album for the sole purpose of it being audiophile quality?
Reggie Sears;
If an (new/unknown) artist were to put out an album that was recorded/engineered, mixed and mastered to very high standards, little-to-no processing, wide dynamic range and other attributes similar to "audiophile" releases, how many of us would actually buy/stream it? Obviously, with the internet we can sample stuff to see if we like the overall sound, but we can't generally can't preview albums in full HD. So with that said, who here would take a gamble on supposed audiophile releases that you've never heard of before? And if not, does it even make sense for artists/producers/engineers to take the extra steps in carefully choosing the right microphones, riding faders in the mixing stage so that they don't need to use compression, and all of the other steps that it takes to create a audiophile-level recording?
Just wondering... I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Hoofy:
I have one or two. A Steve Davis SACD, one of the first SACD's I got. Amazing sound quality. Would never play it for my usual emotional reasons, only to show off the system.
Reggie Sears:
Wow, the first reply to my thread is the King of audio himself. I'm honored and humbled. I will have to check that Steve Davis SACD out then. Thank you sir.
Hooferman:
No prob. I think it's called "Steve Davis Quality Of Silence" or something like that. I'm at my girl's soccer game or I'd check. Best sounding SACD I own.
