Classic rock remasters.....24 bit/SACD
The entire Bowie back catalogue has also been done in 24 bit recently too.Check for the CD's with the cover pictures of Bowie on the spine.Every Bowie album up until Hours has been done,the last three only in the last week or so. 
Classic rock remasters.....24 bit/SACD
Phasecorrect-Page himself remastered the whole Zep. back catalogue.It was a while back now probably 10 years-it was done with George Marino at Sterling Sounds in New York.I'm pretty sure it is 24 bit but obviously the technology has moved on since... 
First excerpts from the Dylan autobiography
Dare I say having finished it today the book is astounding.After reading it seemed every other book about Dylan somehow caged the art,this just busts everything wide open.Remarkable,succint,wise and a trap in there for Dylanologists everywhere wit... 
Coldplay's "A Rush of Blood to the Head"
Sadly more proof I'm not an audiophile-the music is decent no more than that but the recording seemed okay to me. 
iPOD How many cds does it really Hold ?any Tips??
The first point is that the 40GB is reduced to around 37GB in terms of available space-the difference is due to utilising the software etc to make the thing run.My 40GB iPod is full and it holds 9163 songs which is around 28 days of continious mus...

Linn Ikemi still viable at 4k
Cody-my own personal take is if you listen to a wide range of music you could do well with the Ayre CX-7-I auditioned this against the Ikemi and found it superior especially with heavier music. 
Best Genesis Album - your opinions please.
I tend to think with bands with big back catalogues it depends on when exactly you discovered them that how well you react to the later periods of their career.I like Genesis a lot and saw them live on the Duke tour in 1980-arguably their last gre... 
Test grade Jeff Buckley discs?
The Legacy version does sound different indeed it reminds me a lot of SACD on the lower level player I have.I must admit I find it a bit unnerving as I know the disc so well-it sounds different rather than better.Ambient/background sounds are argu... 
bjork medula
Picked this up yesterday,very much leans to vocals,vocals and more vocals-not the usual array of sonic tricks and atmospheres-need to hear it a lot more.The critics have already christened it her most unusual album and well she was hardly conventi...
