| Who was this "band" ??? It predated Spinal Tap and was an 80's BBC TV Show called The Comic Strip Presents The Bad News Tour.The Comic Strip Presents was an alternative comedy outfit who did one off parodys of several British institutions or topical subjects.As I remembe... | |
| New Sony NS999ES is in. Joe-we should all arrange a designated time where guys like ourselves and Rsbeck at a pre-arranged time on Xmas day sing John Lennon's Merry Christmas (War is over).For this even we should wear home made T-shirts with the following printed across ... | |
| New Sony NS999ES is in. Bah humbug.Trelja the sensitivity is all mine,unique in the world of Audiogon,such is life when you are a sensitive soul like me.Of course the more observant Audiogon members will know my opinion on SACD and it must get boring.Their day must be br... | |
| New Sony NS999ES is in. Tony thanks for the balanced comments hopefully this will help the original poster,as will Trelja's.Loontoon should also note if he does have some reservations about SACD he shouldn't discount SACD hybrid purchases in the future,most of these I've... | |
| New Sony NS999ES is in. Trelja the problem with your post is you state your opinions like they are absolutes.One of the key pro-SACD members on Audiogon truly believes it to be better than vinyl if done with the right kit.Lots of people,lots of opinions but really SACD i... | |
| Favorite one box C.D.?? Ayre CX-7.Had a vinyl friend(not literally) visit recently-commented the best digital sound he'd ever heard. | |
| MFSL Queen ok or not ? Mejames see if you can find your favourite Queen album in the 25th Anniversary remastered form-it as good as what is available at the moment.Good luck. | |
| MFSL Queen ok or not ? Maybe they'll release them on SACD............:-) | |
| MFSL Queen ok or not ? Tireguy Queen's recordings were both ground breaking and considered amongst the best in their day,the reason why Roy Thomas Baker was for a while very much in demand.Of course it's probably not Audiophile quality which goes for a lot in these part... | |
| MFSL Queen ok or not ? Mejames I hope you got a great price for that Wall double disc-it's worth a few quid.Could be wrong but I think the best Queen CD's are the Japanese 25th anniversary releases in replica min-vinyl sleeves. | |
| Sony SCD-XA 3000 ES any opinions? Here's a review copied from Hi-fi ChoiceTrust Sony to reinvent practically everything it is involved with at some time or another. In this case it's not the champagne gold finish, or the wide (280mm) shoebox presentation, or even the top-loading m... | |
| SACD 2 channel vs Redbook 2 Channel Ears I've had work done by Audiocom before a few years back however thanks for the link.I am happy with my system at this stage. | |
| Ageless Music? I'm with Beatlebum whilst Musicbuff makes some very good points the heratening thing is that if you look at the biggest selling albums of all time,the vast majority are pre-MTV.That's not totally related to the original query but I think most musi... | |
| SACD 2 channel vs Redbook 2 Channel Ears in this never ending debate I think it's been forgotten I wanted to try and enjoy SACD, not bury it,my player originally retailed for approx $750,£500 here in the UK.(I bought somewhere in the region of 40 SACD's).Without repeating various po... | |
| Peter Gabriel....Bad sounding CD's......groan..... Dudeaudio-a search sound throw up the info you require.All the Gabriel CD's were remastered this year-released twice once as CD's and then a few months later as SACD's.They sound a lot better than the original CD's. |
