| Danny Boy - Recommendations Has anyone mentioned Joan Baez? It's coupled with "I Dream of Jeannie" and I believe it's on the "Diamonds and Rust" LP. | |
| Jazz for aficionados +1 on Monk/Coltrane at Carnegie Hall--and can you believe how good it sounds!? Nice live recording from the 50's. | |
| Jazz for aficionados With the 60's and earlier days covered so well, I'd like to make a few suggestions, mostly in a 70's/80's vein, and heavy on guitar influence:any of the albums by Ella Fitzgerald and Joe Pass--there are a handful of them, and they shouldn't be har... | |
| Anyone tried the original Playstation 1 for CD? I can't say I've noticed a difference (powered up for weeks now), but I was already very happy with the sound. Now if I could only get them (I have two) to track worth a flip. Won't play some CD's (especially "home-burned") and has the occasional ... | |

| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Regarding the 80's digital DG Karajan set--I'm curious to know if any of you find them tolerable on today's less harsh-sounding machines. I know I found them hard to listen to back when they came out, but much better-sounding now. | |
