    Master and Commander: what's with the audio?

    Quoted for truth. I watched this from Netflix last week, with the audio from a receiver that's almost seven years old. The "lossy" DTS sounded fantastic. I plan to upgrade the receiver soon, but haven't had any problems with any DTS-HD tracks so far.

    Lightbulb Sun DVD-Audio (+CD)

    FYI for anyone in the US, this will apparently be released over here and be significantly cheaper than importing. From PT.com:

    Superman Returns HD-DVD Review (some spoilers)

    One of the reasons I dove into HD-DVD was because the standard DVD of this title is absolutely hideous. Flip your disc over and watch it awhile. Pretty sure you'll notice the difference.

    O.S.I.: Free

    Agreed. Well, except that I still spin disc 2 from OSI 1 quite often. I'm loving this CD -- I think I may like it even more than the first record. I agree that this one sounds more like a heavy CK, but that's not a bad thing. Favorite tracks right now: "Sure You Will," "Go," "Better" and...

    DSOTM 5.1 in PCM!

    Hands down, best bootleg ever. Just gave this a listen, and while I'm not going so far as to say I prefer it to the SACD, I do love it. Sure is nice to have the choice.

    DVD Review HTF Review: Elizabethtown

    I guess I'm in the minority as well. After a slow start, I loved it. Maybe I'm too easily satisfied. I wish Cameron Crowe would write me a girlfriend. :D

    Soderbergh's "Bubble" in January

    Just set my Tivo to record it on HDNet Movies Friday night. I'm a big Soderbergh fan, so I'm really looking forward to it.

    Bob Dylan newbie...where do I start?

    Blood on the Tracks - Dylan's best and one of best records of all time.

    HTF REVIEW: Star Wars - Episode III: Revenge of the Sith

    That was definitely our first glimpse of digital Yoda from Episode I. I nearly fell out of my chair -- can't believe none of the reviews have pointed this out.

    Interested in buying a Record Player.

    FYI, J&R has the same turntable with free shipping. May order one myself. :)

    Sony pulling the plug on SACD?

    Do all DVD players support SACD? Blu-Ray is just a format; SACD support will depend on the hardware manufacturer.

    Entire REM Catalog On "Double Disc" March 1, 2005

    I saw several copies of each set at the Tower Records on End in Nashville tonight.

    Fates Warning - FWX (2004)

    Glad to see this disc getting some attention. It's fast becoming my favorite Fates album, and "Heal Me" is defintely my favorite Fates song. Get thee a copy of Octane immediately. It's fantastic. Neal who? :) Kidding, I love One as well.

    You want cheap CDs?? How about $4.99 per disc w/ no shipping....

    I only have 5 of the SACDs, but this one is the best in terms of content and sonics. The stereo and multi-channel versions sound fantastic. Of all the Dyalan albums I've heard, Blood on the Tracks is by far my favorite, regardless of format. For 6 bucks through yourmusic.com it's a steal.

    You want cheap CDs?? How about $4.99 per disc w/ no shipping....

    Dude, get a copy of the Blood on the Tracks SACD -- your opinion will change. Another great deal -- the Goodbye Yellow Brick Road SACD/DVD set for 12 bucks.

    Porcupine Tree - Deadwing due March 22nd 2005

    The really great news is special edition is planned that will feature the CD and the 5.1 mix, I'd assume on a DVD-A.

    Most impressive SACD?

    Amen to that. This is the disc I always use to impress people. The Beck disc is very good also. I'd also throw in the recent Allman Brothers' releases, Live at the Fillmore and Eat a Peach.

    Universal plans to issue 100-150 titles in SACD for 2005!

    Please, God, let U2 be among these releases. They are on a Universal-affiliated label, correct?

    Dream Theater - Live At Budokan DVD

    Yep, and I noticed the "hiccup" on first viewing. However, I was watching kind of late in the evening, when other people were trying to sleep, so I really didn't notice any problems after that. I have since listened again with the volume up (considerably), and I can definitely hear the...

    Dream Theater - Live At Budokan DVD

    I noticed the obvious skip in both the audio and video in "New Millennium," but the sound seemed fine after that. I'll have to listen more closely for the things you mentioned. I have to agree that this DVD is fantastic; DT is my favorite band, so it's hard to be objective, but for...

    The Good News: Allman Brothers Band at Fillmore East Surround Sound SACD released...

    I have a bad feeling we'll see this on DVD-A soon with the extra tracks. I went ahead and bit the bullet, though, and this sounds fantastic. I can really only compare this to the "Deluxe Edition" CD (I have only memories of hearing this on vinyl), and it's never sounded better to me. I went...

    Richard & Linda Thompson Shoot Out The Lights-My favorite pop SACD

    CC definitely sent you the wrong item. My copy came in from them today, and it's clearly labeled as a hybrid SACD. On the front, the standard circular sticker letting you know it will play on CD and SACD players, and the SACD and DSD logos are prominent on the back.

    Richard & Linda Thompson Shoot Out The Lights-My favorite pop SACD

    From your keyboard to some label's release schedule.... I answered my own question from an earlier post. This is available for $12.99 (plus tax) at circuitcity.com. Currently on backorder, but I placed an order anyway.

    Richard & Linda Thompson Shoot Out The Lights-My favorite pop SACD

    I'd heard of RT before, but Gilmour's version of that song convinced me to check out a Thompson CD. I started w/The Old Kit Bag (Lee, get this CD immediately if not sooner) about a year ago and I've been enjoying his stuff since. I can't wait to hear this SACD, but from the link this appears...
