| What Patty Smith album to own? Well Ozzy there we go play an album once and give up on it?That is a remarkable response to a piece of music.I can assure you there is no need to be stoned to enjoy Horses. | |
| Pink Floyd The Wall Remasters Mejames that'll be the '94 one and explain why you prefer the Echoes version.These types of conversations are very common and one of the reasons I started Lugs to at least let folks know when older versions had been surpassed. | |
| Pink Floyd The Wall Remasters Mejames please explain how the Echoes release betters the regular release (by which I suppose you mean the '97 version)when it is exactly the same!So often on Audiogon we see talk of remasters and it is very very confused. | |
| Pink Floyd The Wall Remasters There is no 2000 remaster.The Echoes compilation is the newest remastering(2001) of some older Floyd tracks although they left the Wall tracks as the 1997 versions.There are '94 and '97 remasters of The Wall, the MSFL version and of course the Shi... | |
| Linn Ikemi vs Resolution Audio Opus 21 Having home demoed thr Ikemi and the Ayre CX-7-the CX-7 won easily-better especially on rock etc. | |
| Proac 2.5's-something not quite right- ideas? Gunbei-I'm holding off changing anything at the moment as I still don't feel 100% sure of how I feel about the 2.5's-in real terms I've spent quite a short time with them.I do believe I am very likely to stick with my components.It's been a confus... | |
| Proac 2.5's-something not quite right- ideas? Artk-logically why would the loss matter in the room when I was using smaller speakers before?That doesn't make sense to me....at all.I may be wrong but I think Opalchip was really on the money with his assessment.Perhaps the speakers have run in ... | |
| Have you seen the new R.E.M. reissues? WOW Paradales take it from me they haven't with Green.If they haven't done it with Green which is the oldest release then they won't have with the rest.Indeed why re-release an album only months old?These discs are basically DVD-A releases and nothing... | |
| Have you seen the new R.E.M. reissues? WOW Sorry Paradales I mean Automatic For The People-listen to the difference on recording quality merely due to time...I suspect if Green was cleaned up it would sound miles better on CD. | |
| About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone Pat I hope you enjoy it I think the more you listen the more you'll enjoy it-his music seems quite slight on the surface but repeated plays brings many more layers. | |
| Cables-how can you be sure of authenticity? Indeed I would say I have a biased opinion of interconnects because I think now I was exposed to a fake Cardas Golden Reference. | |
| Have you seen the new R.E.M. reissues? WOW Paradales Green has clearly not-it's the same as the original CD and it sounds really flat.Compare the production of that to AFTP which sounds great.It doesn't say anywhere on the disc that it is remastered only the DVD info.Indeed one would wonde... | |
| About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone Pat-don't why that name turned up-Ben from Glasgow-hope you enjoy. | |
| For Lugnut & Barb (Patrick & Barbara Malone) Patrick-I think you might find that LP is from me-terrible company to deal wth but hey that is some great music just landed on your doorstep---yer auld pal Ben. | |
| Have you seen the new R.E.M. reissues? WOW Paradales-I think REM have made a major boo-boo with this series.I bought Green today (the oldest therefore the one I was most looking forward to hearing improvements on)from my local CD place-it'll be returned tomorrow.The CD has not been re-mast... |
