| Best Bat out of Hell recording HiFi News did a review (2 years ago I think?} of the Bat Out Of Hell recording and a review of currently available versions (LP and CD, maybe even SACD as well?} and concluded they are all poorly recorded and mastered. Having said that, I am sure ... | |

| Avantgarde Uno/Duo owners in the Boston area The speakers on "upscaleaudio.com" are Solos, not Uno or Duo. Hence the awesome price. You got my heart racing then, I was ready to buy them immediately! | |
| Will the sound quality deminish over the years? I just sold a 33 year old pair of Yamaha NS1000M speakers from my second sound system. To my ears they still sounded just fine, even after 33 years frequent use and replacement of two blown tweeter 10 years ago (don't ask). Interestingly, my main ... | |
| Why do designers/manufacturers...? For me "Rlwainwright" said it all. Case in point, QUAD ESL 63 loudspeakers still sound wonderful (not perfect) after all these years. If Peter Walker (the designer) thought they could have been improved using audio voodoo, I am sure he would have ... | |
| PK's Refurbished Quads in SoCal You need to specify which one; ESL57, ESL63, 2805, 2905 etc. | |
| Any suggestions where to find used pair B&W 801D? I know everyone is entitled to their opinion. However, the last post from "Sdrconsultant" is a bit over the top. So, if I gave you a pair of B&W 801D speakers for free, you would presumably stick with your Home Depot plastic laundry tubs and w... | |
| blue jeans cable? Great products, outstanding service and all at a reasonable price. Highly recommended. | |

| Best Option To Liquidate CD Collection At last, an answer to the original question that I understand and makes perfect sense. Thank you REL. | |
| Software recommendations I have tried Amara and Audirvana Plus, preferred the sound of Audirvana Plus. Very easy to use and completely reliable. | |
| Computer vs CD/SACD discs See my previous post on this subject, I made the switch to computer audio just over a year ago and could not be happier with the results. Sound quality is every bit as good as anything I have heard at various HiFi show demonstrations over the year... | |
| Need advice on HD tracks platback. I am also using an Oppo 105 to perform D/A conversion. I use a MacBook Air to store (and download to) HD Tracks FLAC files with Aurdirvana Plus. I could not be happier with the results; see my previous post on this subject:http://forum.audiogon.co... | |

| Led Zeppelin in Hi-rez I also purchased the 24/96 Hi-Rez versions of Led Zeppelin 1 and 2 from HD Tracks. I agree with Dasign, these versions are probably as good as they are ever going to get. Certainly better than anything else I have heard so far. |
