Best POP audiophile recording/album...
Just dug out and dusted down Supertramp cd-Breakfast in America. Superb. 
Whats more important? Speaker or the Amp

Hi Tvad nice to meet you. I have a couple of questions for you. Why was the production quality of the first generation cd's produced sounding duff? And has our hi-fi systems improved so much that early cd's now sound bad?I also consider myself a c...
