| What do You listen to? Yes Pbb because I'm Scottish and I hate bagpipe music.... | |
| 5 most recognizable voices in American music? Ok then but Billy Corgan sounds British!He does a bit, like that Zwan album though. | |

| What do You listen to? Audiophanatik-yes well,most Audiogoners are of a certain age and perhaps Audiophiles in general do gravitate to certain genres but there is a reasonably wide selection of musical tastes on these forums.Categories in themselves mean little-a band l... | |
| High End Audio Equipment, Status Symbol? For whatever reasons I don't think hi-fi does equate as a status symbol-it simply does not feature in populist terms.If you look at lifestyle type magazines the hi-fi stuff that is featured is picked for it's design or it's minimilist trendy styli... | |
| CD Matts that improve sound? Megasam I have the SID.I have to say I'm not convinced-apparently it will improve DVD pictures too.I tried that and couldn't see any difference.Since my eyesight is better than my hearing abilities that was probably enough for me.And yes I never r... | |
| HIP Early Music on SACD Wellen I might well give it a try as I didn't like the previous one too much ,they are a band I've never really loved yet I do go back and challenge myself sometimes with the odd spin.Thanks, | |
| Any SACD quick reading players out there. My Sony DVPNS900 reads SACD's in about 3-5 seconds too-so I think it's more down to the earlier models.This particular quirk of the early Sony's put me off when considering buying a higher end SACD machine.Quite often I have a long session where I... | |

| Anyone heard the new Led Zep jJapanese CDs? Jeff-have you checked the date of the mastering on your original CD-if it was pre'93 then it wasn't re-mastered by Jimmy Page.I know you are saying remastered by Jimmy Page-are you sure it's not production?Remember all the Zep albums are produced ... | |
| Anyone heard the new Led Zep jJapanese CDs? Jeff these CD's have not (to the best of my knowledge)been remastered,they've been repackaged.These are the same remasters as Page did in '93 for the grey box-set,the one with what looks like a rollercoaster frame work on the box.The earlier CD's ... | |
| Queen quandry I really wonder sometimes on these forums whether people actually read anything that's posted before them.Thanks to Imin2u for at least putting things into the original questioners context.I would imagine the Japanese 25th anniversary discs are tr... | |
| Queen quandry Jeff--the Queen back catalogue was remastered again in 1998 as part of the celebration of their 25th Anniversary--I have the Japanese versions which are mini-vinyl replica's.I'm pretty sure this will sound better than the '91 version you have.Nigh... | |
