| SACD- my intial thoughts.... I guess the point I was trying to make was this.The reason DVD has been such a massive success was that everybody could see the improvement in picture quality and sound over video tape-word of mouth and actual experience has made this format massi... | |
| Equipment Break-in: Fact or Fiction Since I'm now about the 350 hour mark on my Sony SACD machine I thought I'd get back with MY findings.I have had previously felt that I had experienced components breaking in without really analysing it.This time I took notes and more importantly ... | |
| SACD- my intial thoughts.... Tstart makes a few key points which I ommited to be brief on my original posting.The lack of new releases (by this I mean new albums just out) is awful I would have though by this stage it would at least a handful every month,no chance.The Stones ... | |
| Peter Gabriel's "So": How does the remaster sound? It's very good as all the remasters are. | |
| ryan adams "demolition" As a guy who posted on Adam's odd behaviour in Glasgow a few years back I think we shouldn't get too carried away.The guy is a real talent and his voice that night was amazing,the music is the music.If we were to avoid every artist who threw a wob... | |
| ryan adams "demolition" He is a real talent but to add to the stories above I saw him about 4 years ago with his previous band Whiskeytown and he was indeed on another planet-he rushed off stage and threw up.I haven't heard the new one but it is indeed a compilation of u... | |
| Audio Alchemy DTi Pro 32 - Any Good? I have the unit below the DtiPro 32(Dti V2.1)and like Treyhoss matched with the DDE V3 and the power station 2.These units might be old but they really are very good.I borrowed a friends MSB 24/96 with upsampling and it didn't beat my set-up.Remar... | |
| Sound quality of "Beatles 1" CD? To my ears it's better than any of the previous incarnations of Beatles CD's,not surprising since it's the most recent remastering.I do remember some on this forum were unhappy with it | |
| Equipment Break-in: Fact or Fiction I am running a Sony SACD player at the moment,the common response on this and similar Sony models is approx 400 hours burn in.I'm keeping notes so I'll update you with my dillusions or solid facts when I get there-at 180 hours so far.I know this i... | |
| Sigur Ros KID-A's Daddy ? Like Kid A I think Agaetis Byrjun isn't a perfect album-it's very good in places,I tend to think they have potential and an interesting sound-aparently their new record that is due out soon is a more realised version of their sound .I would descri... | |
| SACD BREAKING-IN EXPERIENCE................ Jim,Yes I had read your review before(both here and at Audiocom's site a while back) but I guess in a way I was relating it to your new Black Gates etc.A very detailed review thanks.I'm going to follow your path and see what I find.I do find it ve... | |
| My Next Miles Davis Disc? If you are looking for an ambient take on Miles then I would recommend the Bill Laswell remix of Miles tunes called Panthalassa however as you would expect it veers into dub at times.In A Silent Way was as close as Miles got to total ambient music... | |
| music , mind , thought and emotion Detlof to me music is a mystery,my relationship with it has been a lifetime love affair however to quote Van Morrison"It ain't why.......................It just is"As for systems well yes I suppose there may be aspects that may enhance our enjoyme... | |
| Are you going to buy the Rolling Stones SACDs? I bought the London Years collection on SACD/CD.For those not aware this is the triple CD set basically all the Stones singles(A &B sides) up to Sympathy For The Devil.I'm not going to get into the SACD debate at this stage,my machine is runni... | |
| Music industry troubles caused by radio? I think there are some very good points made above to which I would add the following.1.PIRACY-Do not underestimate (here in the UK anyway)how much damage this does-ripped CD's of an artists entire career can be bought for £15 here in the UK,anybo... |
