| All the Cconcerts you can ‘Remember’ Attending? Kublakhan-I saw them at the Glasgow Apollo twice-on The Highway To Hell Tour '79-Bon Scott was dead within months and I saw them live again in 1980!That's how quickly they had recorded a new album and got back on the road.The differences in the pe... | |

| We all want to change the world. Really? Pbb-I think there a number of aspects to what you are asking.First up I guess it's difficult to do that type of thing and be original-and a lot of the original music still stands up-you could pick several dozen Dylan songs that would still fit a m... | |
| CD player for my system I think the way you have described what your looking for,then in theory the CX-7 could do the job.Of course I think it would be safer if you auditioned but I realise that may not be possible.The Ayre is smooth but natural sounding and I think very... | |
| New Led Zeppelin Tweakgeek-the Earls stuff footage is great as is the Knebworth stuff-I think they've cherry picked performances from the later stuff to ensure there isn't anything substandard-performance wise.Plant has a habit of being a bit critical-he's not a b... | |
| CD player for my system Mbutler-seems a bit rich you asking for the best CD player in your system when you are going to change that very system.I think the two posts prior to your follow up replied to specific points you made.Nobody can safely supply the information you ... | |
| WOW SACD machines really do need time to break in. Duh-I knew I was missing something............... | |
| WOW SACD machines really do need time to break in. Gthirteen,I must admit I've read your post several times and I'm not sure I understand a lot of it however the bits I do understand I tend to agree with.I think you might have misunderstood what my SACD break-in experiment consisted of and perhaps... | |
| CD player for my system I auditioned the Ayre CX-7 and a Linn Ikemi with my old amp-a Sugden a21A-my thinking was similar to your own (particularly with the Ayre)that perhaps my system wasn't quite up to the level of CD player I was choosing however my system did show up... | |
| WOW SACD machines really do need time to break in. Not in my experience Darryl but I am in the minority by far from what I've read-the majority clearly believe break-in improves SACD players.The other side of Beck's Sea Change is true too-it sounds stunning on CD.Which backs up your Steely Dan arg... | |
| WOW SACD machines really do need time to break in. Socrates-yes several 'goners have commented on that and other hybrids I couldn't distinguish between-clearly a format that is still splitting opinion...although I agree with Sean and said as much I'm not sure the original recordings were that grea... | |
| Steely Dan - New release / June 10th I love Steely Dan and will buy the new one,downside in my opinion is that Two Against Nature was their worst release. | |
| WOW SACD machines really do need time to break in. Socrates there have been those who have raved about The Police on SACD...................... | |
| WOW SACD machines really do need time to break in. As the dependable Bringer Of SACD Doom here's my experience-I tried an experiment on my Sony 900NVS where I only listened at set intervals over a two week period (whilst on constantly) and found that I heard little or no difference.Sony's are noto... | |
| CD and/or LP collections. Is it about the music? Nrchy-I think there is some overlap-I've been a big music fan for 25 years and been buying music since then however I only really got seriously interested in hi-fi the last five years.My CD collection must be close to 1200/1300 so it is worth more... |
