Pink Floyd fans, Limited Ed CD Hybrid disc
I'm not really sure (keep meaning to do that big test with all the versions I have on CD)that the new hybrid adds much to the available redbook versions,if that's what we're talking about.The Mofi version is not far off if at all albeit more quiet...

Dragon,I would consider wheels as part of the tweaking process.Imagine too if you get an industrial freezer unit you could cryro the whole theatre--you could also charge 50 cents for use of heavy coats etc. to your visitors,store the ice cream inh...

Dragon,just make sure you don't screw up here-don't lose this auction proxy bid 10$k at least-it's a bargain.

Sorry I didn't mean vague,I meant the descriptions sound like they are in vogue.

Yup get it and charge $5 to your friends and neighbours-you'll have your money back in no time and a state of the art of the art home cinema......it'll look good in the back yard.

Er Dragon I was only kidding,you are worrying me,are YOU serious?If you are I would think even if this deal is legit that I would have serious concerns,you could buy better kit and set it up in your own home without the various risks involved here...

Great CDP with No volume control
Tonnesen let us know what you pick.Good luck. 
Can CD's be loud and ok?
Sogood-no I haven't but I don't particularly care for the limited amount of P.Barbers work I've heard.Thanks for the tip-I tend to find the majority of recordings I buy aren't that bad but I don't claim great ability to detect compression.I am cer... 
Can CD's be loud and ok?
Thanks to everybody for answering.I'm finding this interesting-is it possible to fully know extents of this technique?Obviously I state The Jayhawks case which I would guess is extreme with it's distortion.But do the more perceptive listeners (and... 
Can CD's be loud and ok?
Ah now were getting somewhere thank you Onhwy61...... 
Can CD's be loud and ok?
Ok I'll put it another way because I am still confused.Is it possible to make a good recording without compression and the CD sound reasonably loud.No?Yes? 
Can CD's be loud and ok?
Yes Lugnut and I agree I state the last Jayhawks CD as one that's been messed up-it's too forward and the distortion is in fact obvious.I'm not arguing that happens but take the likes of Sea Change by Beck-rated highly as a recording-that CD is loud. 
Why aren't all CDs created equally?
Mmmmm I do agree to an extent on more popular releases but I buy a lot of new music albeit not usually mainstream than do seem to be recorded with a fair bit of care and attention.I've also started another thread on a related topic that should app... 
Great CDP with No volume control
I would second the Ayre.It really is excellent with a wide range of music,if you can get one 2nd hand to help with the cost all the better,with no disrepect to Rbirke in one of the few comparisons I can make it completely wiped the floor with the ...
