| SHM Universal Japan SACDs This was my first exposure to A Night at the Opera, or any album by Queen for that matter. I know it must be hard to believe that anyone in the world is just now delving into Queens considerable catalog but I just wanted anyone reading this to ... | |
| SHM Universal Japan SACDs Hi Audiofeil,Ha-ha, you're bloody well right, you know you got a right to say!I received Queen "A Night At The Opera" a few days ago but I've not had a chance to sit down and thoroughly review it.http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=UIGY-9... | |
| SHM Universal Japan SACDs Hello Everyone, Seasons Greetings!I am considering giving myself a gift for Christmas this year: Queen-Bohemian Rhapsody and or Mike Oldfield-Tubular Bells. Any input on either of these SHM-SACD's would be helpful.Thanks,MikeC | |
| SHM Universal Japan SACDs It is a pity that the cost of these discs continues to escalate; perhaps due to the currency exchange rate, Dollar verses Yen, but I am sure there is a greed component as well.Perhaps I am not being completely objective in an attempt to rationaliz... | |

| SHM Universal Japan SACDs Hi Achilles,Your assessment of the Cream - Wheels of Fire SHM-SACD is valid, although far from poor I prefer the DCC Gold CD of this one. Elton John Goodbye Yellow Brick Road is an excellent SHM-SACD; I have the DVD-Audio of this as well and I m... | |
| SHM Universal Japan SACDs The best of these discs will test the limits of your system. I do not have first hand knowledge of master tape sound quality but I would venture to say that these discs come very close to capturing their fundamental nature. The focus of SHM-SACD... | |
| Acoustic Zen Satori VS Analysis Plus Oval 9 Regarding my old Vandersteen Model 3 speakers, I am close to opting on a custom bi-wire cable configuration of (Kimber 12TC - for the bottom end) and (Kimber 8TC - for the high). However, ... with a very limited budget doubt tends to linger in the... | |
| Acoustic Zen Satori VS Analysis Plus Oval 9 I have finally come to the realization that it is time for me to upgrade my speaker cables. Since the late 1990's, I have been using the same AUDIOQUEST Crystal Hyperlitz Bi-Wire Speaker Cables for my main speakers, Vandersteen Model 3's. While ne... |
