| High quality CDs @rman9 My mistake! immattewj is correct about MoFi not offering Clasical hybrid sacds. The Classical titles I've seen on Music Direct are on the Analogue Productions label: https://www.musicdirect.com/music?#/+/0/score/desc/?tab=products&a... | |

| One guitar, or three? @bdp24 I'm really curious about what you meant when you said you find Jazz is "too urban". Care to elaborate further? | |
| High quality CDs @rman9 MoFi does make hybrid sacd's which include a Redbook layer and they are not the only ones. Check the Music Direct and Acoustic Sounds sites. | |
| Why do folks spend more on electronics than on speakers? Bought my current speakers in mint cond. back in 2005 for $2500. I don't know what the list on them was back then.

| List some of the worst-sounding CDs you've heard, lately @spenav I can't imagine anyone considering the Kotke disc "hi rez" ; it sounds terrible. @tweak1 I feel I have to take what you you say at face value but I have no way to explain it; I've always found CD sound to vary a great deal and this h... | |

| “Faithful to the recording” @immatthewj "It seems as if every piece of gear winds up being written about in glowing orgasmic terms." In news reporting, it's the depressing stuff that garners attention and thus, brings in ad dollars. In audio, it's the "glowing orgasmic" ... | |
