| Shanling T100 to the T200 shootout Btrvalik-I agree strongly with what you found regarding SACD-it would appear to a large extent you need to go the almost "world class" level of equipment to hear the sonic benefits of SACD.I think you make a key point when it seems a lot of people... | |
| Do SACD player start up slower My Sony DVPNS900 reads them within 10s-the length of the high end Sonys to read discs always put me off even considering buying them...no patience me | |
| Who are the Jazz Cats on Audiogon? The most authorative and knowledgeable voice on Jazz on Audiogon is Mr S.D.Campbell.I like Jazz but I'm a bit of a novice-Miles being my main man which as someone whose roots are in Rock music is a pretty obvious choice............... | |

| Dark Side of the Moon I have no fewer than 4 versions of this on CD.The Shine On Version from '92,the '94 remaster,the Mobile Fidelity Gold Mastersound version and the new SACD/CD version.I haven't fully analysed them in my new system but before the '94 version was not... | |
| Is SACD winning over DVD-A? Hard to say at this stage which is winning and I think it's impossible to call the future at this present time.I also think it depends what you've invested in-if you bought into SACD seriously then you'll be pro-SACD-if like me you have lightly in... | |
| Brubeck's 'Time Out' listeners Had a listen last night and even got the girlfriend involved-her hearing is much better than mine.To our ears the clearest "shift" is indeed at 1:50 although the weight of the piano and change could be considered to be intentional as part of the r... | |
