| Musical Preference: US or UK? Lush I think your points are pretty much correct on the surface.However you are looking at pretty mainstream music I'm sure there is a whole undercurrent of bands in the States doing the type of music you mention.From the top of my head you could ... | |
| Is SACD dead? You can be sure if it ever dies I'll get the blame.:-) | |
| What new music did you get for Christmas? Aerial is easily Kate Bush best album since Hounds Of Love-ok there's only been two but it a very strong return. | |
| What cd-player should go with Proac 2.5, VT-100? I use the Ayre CX-7 with the 2.5's although my amplifier is the Ayre AX-7.Good match the CX-7 with Proac imho. | |

| Rush fans on the board ?? Massive fan in my teenage years.Saw them 9 times or so in a 5 year period from '78 to 83 and met the band a few times.I saw the 30th anniversay show last year and you can hear me singing on Exit Stage Left with the rest of the Glasgow Apollo crowd... | |
| Best Genesis Album - your opinions please. I've just picked up the 3CD compilation called Platinum Collection from 2004.I did this mainly to see how the Nick Davis remixes and remastering sounded.It is tremendous the early material is given a complete revamp.Essential if you are an Audioph... | |

| The Stones' Bigger Bang Usblues it could also be argued quite a few of The Stones records fall out of the rock category as well. | |
| SS intgtd- Ayre; YBA; Sugden; Bel Canto; Accphse ? I had the Sugden 21a which is a different beast from their new version of it.However the Ayre AX-7 destroyed it,not surprising considering the price difference.I still have an Ayre Ax7 it's a very nice amp. | |
| Does Jeff Tweedy sound like Ray Davies? Apart from the Atlantic divide......no. | |
| About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone Pat- Crosby's album is a cracker-enjoy.FYI-the All Blacks are so-called because of their strip which is indeed all black.Best wishes. | |
| Sacd/dvd-a, The Hype Is Dead, For Me At Least... Guidocorona I've a lot more faith in SACD surviving than humour when it's in your hands.I promise 100% I will never enter into another debate on SACD as a format on this forum.I simply cannot be arsed with people determined to make their points wi... | |
| Sacd/dvd-a, The Hype Is Dead, For Me At Least... You can't take anything serious when people have obvious reading disorders-makes you wonder if their ears are any better.:-) |
