Dylan - The Greatest Remasters Ever
"...perhaps he'll just leave us with the songs"yes, and that is really a gift. 
Dylan - The Greatest Remasters Ever
Ben, I would be surprised if Dylan ever finished his autobiography ("Chronicles"). It started out as a series of liner notes for the reissues that inspired this thread of yours. However, there are neither new liner notes nor a book! My suspicion i... 
Dylan - The Greatest Remasters Ever
BEN.... yes, I know that the SACD is a different layer, but even the "CD" layer is greatly improved. What I'm saying is that even w/o a SACD player, there are great aural benefits to be had.

Review: Plinius 8200 Amplifier
Phil,I will definitely keep a look out (ear open?) for the Reynaud's. Thanks for the comments about the Plinius and the recommendation on the speakers! Sounds like a great match. 
Is heavy vinyl worth it?
