Has audiophilia changed your music taste?
Cdc I don't think any system can make all music sound good.A point many Audiophiles seem to miss that even a crappy system can distinguish between "good" and "bad" productions-I've been noticing since I had the cheapest system as a teenager how mu... 
Good old 2ch versus multi-ch, what to do?
With regards the well mentioned Sony XA777ES this is the very machine I considered.By listening to a well respected Audiogon member and SACD advocat he told me that the Sony was behind the Linn Ikemi on CD replay-well in my system the Ayre CX-7 de... 
Good old 2ch versus multi-ch, what to do?

Any Pink Floyd Historians?

Beatles albums on MFSL CD's
I think they are elaborate bootlegs.I saw HDCD marked CD copies of Pink Floyd's The Wall before that originated from Singapore.They looked very professional but were merely the last CD issue with no HDCD encoding despite the official log etc.Avoid. 
New Yes Remasters?
Sorry guys talking CD only-I always refer to any format as albums as well-throw back to when it was only vinyl. 
New Yes Remasters?
The next batch from Close To The Edge through to Going For The One were supposed to be out about 6 weeks ago here in the UK.My local record store told me that they were delayed due to the band being unable to agree what extra tracks made it onto t... 
Make me feel better
David-treat yourself to a total system upgrade.You deserve it. 
Time machines
Kinsekd-so many, 25 years worth-it particularly happens with records you played to death-even releases from just a few years back can take me back to that particular time.Too many to mention,I'd rather play them,sorry.:-) 
Dylan new remasters/SACD preview
Cp I think you'll find there are more people who actually prefer covers of Dylan to the real thing,his voice is a real stumbling block for a lot of people.I think these versions on this soundtrack are pretty fresh and well recorded and will appeal... 
Queen quandry
Jeff-glad to hear it-enjoy. 
SACD 2...for those who have not heard
Does it mean though Sony already have doubts about SACD breaking through?
