QUEEN: A NIGHT AT THE OPERA a DVD-Audio review by David Tolsky (1 Viewer)

[Lewis Besze]

I know who I'd want picking the more "musical" piece of equipment for me.

Good one Ric!It's hard to "argue" that.Too bad I can't afford anything these gentlemen involved with,but if I could I would choose Meridian!

Wow, what a fascinating thread. Looks like both DVD-A and SACD are headed for a really rough road. With this much potential for confusion among an astute and well informed forum group, how will the "non-enthusiasts with money" react to this situation?

Reason why I ask, is, we need plenty of "non-enthusiasts with money", over the long haul, to bring us the economies of scale that drive down the prices and create a successful format.

Are these formats destined to join the "Less than Stellar Commercial Success Club", below?

How about those 16 RPM ULP's?

4-channel Reel-to-Reel?

CD-4, SQ-4?

Remember the Elcaset?

[Sutjahjo Ngaserin]

* The Band - The Last Waltz (!!!!!!!!)

* Jackson Browne - Running On Empty

* Van Morrison - Moondance

* Neil Young - Harvest

When? I can't wait for these 4!

I will admit that the Jackson Browne disc has me a little excited.

 

[John Tillman]

Glad to see that information.
But, wouldn't you like to have been part of the process for selecting Magnification over Fragile? How about Bonnie Raitt's vocals making the list? Rhino lists a few of her albums for March... So close, so far.
Still, at least DVD-A has a pulse .

i'd take a dvd-a of yessongs over magnification or fragile[that is if they could find the quad soundtrack which may or may not exist anymore]

Anyone else notice that a certain low end retailer (BB) has recently started to plug sacd more than dvd audio? Last week I was in the store and I noticed a huge yellow sign that read "multi channel music" back by the receivers. They neatly had all of the sacd players and sacd discs displayed under the sign.

Meanwhile, dvd audio's are tucked away at the very end of the concert video dvd's - very easy to miss if you don't know exactly where they are.

Is sony lining BB pockets or is it kowinkadink?

DVD Empire now lists this as being scheduled for release on April 30, 2002.
