| Pioneer 563 universtal DVD player for less $200 Well, I for one am interested in your test results. If there is an inexpensive way to dabble in hi-rez, I want to hear about it. What other digital source(s) are you comparing with the Pioneer? | |
| Good DVD Concert? Neil Young's "Live Rust" was rcently released on DVD. That's a goodie. And I second the nomination of "The Last Waltz". | |
| sound of the doors remasters Which remasters do you mean? They've been remastered at least 3 or 4 times. Search the old threads. I think these have been discussed before. | |
| Which remasters to pickup? "What's Goin' On" was recently remastered on the original Motown/Tamla label for redbook. Actually, several weeks ago Best Buy was runnning a special where you could get both "What's Goin' On" and "Let's Get It On" remasters for $10 (that is total... | |
| Loud and Live Deep Purple--Made in Japan | |
| Proac question You mean other than a few thousand dollars? :-)The Studios are Proac's version of an "entry-level" line of speakers. | |
| Second System: Add DAC to Marantz CD Changer? I'm using the same changer and wondering the same thing. Be sure and post what you end up doing. . . | |
| The best books on music Off the top of my head: Joe Jackson's autobiography "A Cure For Gravity" is a good read. Also, very good are both Kinks' autobiographies, Ray's "X-Ray" and Dave's "Kink".At the opposite end of the spectrum is "Hardcore Troubadour", the new unautho... | |
| what are your favorite movie soundtracks. Hardly an audiophile quality recording (and kind of a ripoff because 2 of the songs are repeated in their entirety), but I'd still recommend the soundtrack to "The Harder They Come". Essential reggae. | |
| Most underated albums...... I guess I must be one of the people who under-rates "Mirror Blue". I'd probably rank it dead last among Thompson's solo work. Some good songs, but the production is a disaster. Mitchell Froom should be tarred and feathered. But I can see where som... | |
| Please Describe your Music Collection The Rap music title is a bit more provocative, don't you think :-)Yeah "Journey To The Centre Of The Earth" ain't so great, but it's not totally without merit. You might try "Seven Wives Of Henry VIII" instead. It's alot better.Off the top of my h... | |
| Most underated albums...... According to Amazon.com "Caravanserai" is indeed out of print. However, "Borboletta" is still available and for my money it's just as good.I would think both of these albums are due for a Columbia/Legacy series remastering. | |
| 10 sonically best rock recordings ? Well, Slipknot, I was being polite in my previous post. Since you were talking about the vinyl, I'll go ahead and bluntly say the cd doesn't sound so hot :-) I guess we agree on that. I've never heard "Manassas" on vinyl and no longer have a turnt... | |
| 10 sonically best rock recordings ? Thanks for the Dire Straits info, Phasecorrect.Hey Slipknot--Which version of "Manassas" are you referring to? I have heard the original cd issue and the HDCD reissue (although not played back in HDCD) and neither one overwhelmed me sonically. (Bu... | |
| Question for Velvet Underground fans My jaw almost dropped to the floor when Cale's voice popped up during "Shrek". Personally, I thought it felt somewhat out of place, but give the producers credit for hipness.I've never heard the original version of that song (Leonard Cohen's "Hall... |
