Sorry I need to change back to English, my Chinese typing is VERY SLOW......

Record companies have their difficulties. CD sales declined in a log scale in the last 10+ years, and it is very hard for them to survive now. So they have to grab every chance to earn quick money for survival. If I put some marketing tricks and "audiophiles" will rush to buy the same music again and again, why not do it? And you know, it is so much better to sell the same music to you 10 times, than selling you 10 recordings.

AND, very often there is no new digital transfer involved. Reasons being that, they don't have the budget, they don't have the tapes (or they're damaged or aged beyond repair), or they simply couldn't be bothered. So, to make sure our dear Hong Kong audiophiles can hear some "differences" (note: not necessarily improvements), they put all sorts of unnecessary processing to the recordings. Occasionally these processings can help, but I think more often these processings will just degrade the sound!

Hong Kong is a very unique place in terms of putting out these so-called "audiophile" recordings. The number of audiophile CDs sold in Hong Kong is disproportionately high compared to other markets (even Japan, I believe!). Why so? Because we (including myself) are spoiling the companies by willingly pay our hard-earned cash for even inferior products! We cannot blame the companies, but ourselves.

On the other hand, since CD is gradually becoming a niche product, overall price will inevitably go up. I think this is slowly happening. The Hong Kong labels make it up by offering all sorts of audiophile gimmicks, while International labels do so by offering let-it-all-out boxed sets (e.g. recent complete Heifetz/Bernstein/Rubinstein boxed sets etc - classical music), plenty of bonus materials (e.g. Pink Floyd boxed sets) or even stunningly good remixes (e.g. Jethro Tull's Aqualung 40th anniversary edition). Yes, they still sell the same music to you again and at a much higher price, but you either get better value, better sound, bonus stuff, or even all.

Sadly, Hong Kong people are so easily satisfied and so willingly paying, and so record companies do not need to go into that direction!

1:1 Direct Gold本身好聲我都buy ga~ 係唔係用MAM-A金碟? 我覺得1:1 Direct Gold應該留返堅係勁D錄音用lor!

其實我覺得我用Plextor Premium2, MAM-A金碟/TY碟慢速copy D CD都會好聲左. 係咪錯覺?

Oh I see! 代工海山, it makes much better sense now! But honestly, 代工 will also affect your reputation if it is not clear enough to customers.

    貴價材料當然有其價值,慢工出細貨也不無道理,不然我們為甚麽要換牛換電容換線甚至換Fuse ?

Haha that's why I say I buy it, 貴價材料 and 慢工出細貨 are true. In fact I do similar (of course not the same or better) things myself too, i.e. backing up old CDs with 24K gold CD-R.
