| Rush albums sound quality What difference will a high resolution format make when it seems to be the opinion that the original recordings were terrible?I think the remasters sound every bit as good as the original vinyl. | |
| Rush albums sound quality Of course if you actually read the article the author states is their last album that doesn't sound great(it's not that hot musically either)and he states that their other CD's sound good.Both points I agree with.The remasters sound fine. | |
| I have figured out the upgrade itch Well Hughes12 I listen to music for enjoyment.Sure we listen critically when we upgrade but after a while hopefully we just relax and enjoy the music.I would say "serious" listening takes up 80% of my time spent-it drives the girlfriend nuts. | |
| Anyone aware of the problems with the Linn Unidisk I heard this player a couple of months back.The Audio store I heardit in is probably Linn's main high end dealer in their home city.I got the impression from the dealer there were some small issues with the machine .Certainly I saw him have to rel... | |
| How can I tell if authentic ProAc 2.5 or knockoffs Proac's all should have a metallic logo sticker on the back with the model no.,serial number etc.The grilles should also have a logo on and the tweeter also.You seem to be aware of this by your post.They also come with a manual.Personally I would ... | |
| Jazz recommendations for a beginner? Newbee I think you'vegot me mixed up with my namesake Sd Campbell (it happens a lot actually..poor Sd) who is the real Jazz expert.To answer your point.I apologise I didn't mean to seem eltist at all.Zargon's post deals very well with the category... | |
| Jazz recommendations for a beginner? Well I didn't mean to insult anybody-if you like Ms Krall then fine,I like lots of things other folks don't.I tend to think Kind Of Blue( ground breaking as it was in it's day) is on the mainstream of what I would call traditional Jazz.The other o... | |
| Jazz recommendations for a beginner? No offence Jorge but I'm inclined to say if you don't like Kind Of Blue but do like D.Krall then you are in the area of soft jazz and that you will probably not like traditional jazz much at all. | |
| Decent SACD? Tony it was indeed the Sony XA77ES,seems any other opinion is irrelevant,it beat the DAC6 too and the New York Yankees. | |
| New Guy asking for help I would start by getting a floor to go with your usual sized room and ceiling otherwise speaker placement will be tricky. | |
| Edmund Fitzgerald-Which Gordon Lightfoot LP? Bought this very CD on import about 6 years ago for that very same song.Before that an ex-girlfriend told me the tune seemed to be based on an old Irish folk song-don't remember the damn title now! | |
| Nick Cave - Nocturama Good album-Cave has matured in recent years without losing his spark-I like the harder stuff too. | |
| Best band of the 80's Tvad-I agree that U2 did their best work in the 80's though Achtung Baby is sometimes regarded as their best.I did like them a lot at the time,their success was clearly based on very straight forward rock dynamics and I realised at the time of the... | |
| Best band of the 80's I have a strange relationship with U2 I liked them a lot at the time but now I find a lot of it pretty tired sounding.I forgot The Smiths who are massively important and more original than U2.I would argue REM's 80's music has (in my mind anyway)a... | |
| Best band of the 80's Phasecorrect in my college days I sat on stage with Loop!I was part of the local road crew-they were so loud it was unbelieveable and they blew the main electrics!As usual in these threads I see two bands clearly belonging more to the 70's than 80... |
