Any live music plans for New Years Eve ?
I'll probably be drunk and singing louder than my system......I am Scottish after all. 
Your 5 Stupendous SACD vs Redbook
Ah hah I woke you up!Come on guys Proy asked a good question.Those in the SACD camp should be promoting the format and giving examples.Still I continue to see interesting comments.

Guss2 is your reference to Soultrane a typo?As you mention redbook. 
Album of the Week - Opinion/Samples
Charlie-I'm a really big fan of Sound Of Lies although most purists enjoy Hollywood Town Hall and Tomorrow The Green Grass before Olsen left.These are probably closer in tone to Rany Day Music with their Alt-country sound (but not as like The Byrd...

I find it absolutely remarkable that there are some many pro-SACD members here yet when it comes to proof,a few years down the line, they cannot even name 5 cd's for Proy.

Charlie I love The Jayhawks but hated this album.It's very seldom I recycle my new purchases but I got rid of this.It was also spotted by another Audiogon member that this recording distorts and it does.........

I was big fan of that album at the time (as was Paul MacCartney) and saw the subsequent tour,clearly their greatest moment.It still stands up quite well.Wallinger was previously in The Waterboys. 
SACD Opinions: Gimmick? Like it? Don't? Why?
Jb3-first of all if I were you,I'd do a search on SACD here on Audiogon,on previous posts.You will find there various opinions on a lot of the questions you have,you will not find a definitive answer however.In fact some threads were so heated the...

Pepler haven't heard either but both are on my short list for replacement speakers.I had heard the D15 are better but recently an assistant who seemed to know his stuff reckoned the 2.5 were better basically in terms of scale over the D15.The 2.5 ...

Henry-before I make any music recommendations I would suggest you consider the purchase of the odd monthly music magazine such as Mojo or Uncut these would not only give you great retrospective articles on the classic bands but give you some feel ... 
The absolute best and worst-sounding CD you own ?
Yet another list that makes me glad I'm a music fan rather than an audiophille,a lot of bonkers postings including a guy who states he hates the music but loves the recording!Nebraska is a classic. 
New Britpop: South- "Among the Tides"
Phasecorrect-heard bits of their debut a few years back and wasn't very impressed.Haven't heard the new one and haven't picked up on the reviews although All Music says it's a step forward from their debut. 
Pink Floyd FINALLY Releases Live At Pompeii
No worries Rx8man-enjoy! 
Pink Floyd FINALLY Releases Live At Pompeii
Ornette still doesn't explain his comments about Wish You Were Here-I know about the DSOM DVD-his original post is factually wrong since this material(Pompeii) has been about for years and years.Apologies about saying the orignal was on the disc,I... 
Pink Floyd FINALLY Releases Live At Pompeii
The new directors cut has had new scenes cut in that that are visual(e.g psychedelic effects) and are not of the band playing,there is no new material filmed or otherwise of Pink Floyd on this disc.The original version is on the disc and according...
