I just got done watching one of the most distrubing commercials I have seen in my life. Orville Redenbacher apparently never died and is now a big fan of 30 gig MP3 players. Take a look for yourself... http://www.orville.com/aboutUs.jsp Something about this just creeps me out. J

Parasound 5 Channel Amp in Excellent condition. No longer being used since I recently moved and am living in an apartment for the time being. Approximately 7 or 8 Years are remaining on the amp's warranty. If you are going to use this with a receiver without a 12V trigger, I will also throw...

Saw this very encouraging news over on High Fidelity Review for Hi-res fans: http://www.highfidelityreview.com/ne...umber=12004614 It appears the tests went relatively well in the test markets, and the forum as decided to adopt the Dual Disc as a delivery format. One of the major time hang...

According to this link, Jerry Harrison of the Talking Heads is preparing a 5.1 mix of Remain in Light for an upcoming Rhino DVD-A release. This is great news for Heads and Hi-res fans. I have been asking all along for Warner to break out some TH and it looks like they are finally getting around...

According to today's Musictap, The Greatest Hits of Grandmaster Flash, Melle Mel and The Furious 5 and The Best of The Sugarhill Gang will be coming to DVD-A May 25th. These should be great multichannel party albums (especially Sugar Hill Gang), and may even turn on a few friends to Hi-res...

Found this quote interesting regarding Sony's position on SACD from the follwing HFR article: http://www.highfidelityreview.com/ne...umber=17205662 Looks like the higher ups at Sony may be questioning the viability of the format as well. In tough financial times it is understandable that...

Looks like BMG is going into DVD-A with a renewed vigor. This weekend at FYE, both Wyclef Jean The Preacher's Son and Luther Vandross Dance With My Father were spotted for sale in the Hi-rez section (which is dominated by DVD-A, at least where I live, if anyone is looking for some hard to find...

Great news for fans of rock music in Hi-res. Read about the full story here: http://www.highfidelityreview.com/ne...umber=11846091 With superstar artists now releasing material in Hi-res, it looks like DVD-A is gaining new momentum, especially among the mainstream crowd. A big step...

If any hoops fans out there are looking to join a Fantasy league this year, I have set up a free HTF league on Yahoo. The statistic categories are the Yahoo default: Field Goal Percentage Free Throw Percentage 3-point Shots Made Points Scored Total Rebounds Assists Steals Blocked Shots...

Just wondering if anyone picked up this disc today and has any thoughts on the music and sonics. Also, is this disc indeed a single inventory Hybrid SACD? I noticed Circuit City has lisitings for both a regular CD and a Hybrid SACD on their website, so I have avoided ordering either out of...

Universal has just updated their DVD-A site, nailing down release dates finally for Steely Dan Gaucho and Peter Frampton Frampton Comes Alive for 12/16/03. Note, both discs contain stereo and surround tracks at 24/96, the native recording resolution (for a digital transfer from the original...

Acording to Musictap, Pete T is working on a new multichannel mix for a release of Quadrophenia to DVD-A. Great news as it looks like DVD-A is really picking up the superstar artists. J Note: A seperate SACD release was mentioned as well as a possibility

Just read about these new releases here on the Steve Hoffman forum. Looks like the earlier Hybrid releases over in the UK are being replaced by single layer redbook discs using the DSD mastered CD layer, neglecting the Hi-res layer in new releases. Does this mean stealth marketing has been...

Last week I picked up The Persuasions Sing the Beatles on Chesky SACD on a lark after seeing it on the rack at Best Buy. The disc has left me surprisingly pleased, filled with great a cappella performances of some of the fab four's standards. My two favorite tracks on the disc were Octopus's...

Just got done spinning Sinatra at the Sands a couple times, once in stereo and once in multichannel, and I can honestly say this is my new reference DVD-A. It is hard to believe a recording so clear, pristine, and dynamic was recorded almost forty years ago. For those not familiar with this...

Just saw over on MusicTap that they have a partial lisitng for the upcoming Universal DVD-A releases for later this year. The release schedule is as follows:

After listening to this disc yesterday and today, I can prodly say the wait was worth it. This disc is what Hi-res on DVD Audio is all about: Hi-res mono, stereo, and surround, and lots of bonus features. The actual mixing is quite like DSOTM on SACD, where the multi-channel improves on the...

According to Musictap, August and September are going to be great months for Neil Young fans. On the 19th of August, his newest album Greendale will be released on DVD-A day and date with the CD. Then on September 23rd coming to DVD-A are: On the Beach Re-ac-tor Hawks & Doves...

Well it looks like Crest has struck again. After reading the thread on the Norah Jones SACD developing cracks (mine developed two by the way), I decided to check my copy of Blue Train, and surprise surprise....I found a crack on the center spindle. Thanks for the lip service Crest on fixing...

What a great disc. I have already listened to the album three times today... twice in surround, and once in stereo, and am thinking about spinning it again. Another great surround mix from Elliot Scheiner right on par with The Nightfly. Production and sonics are top notch throughout the entire...

I am thinking about picking up a couple tickets either for their upcoming show at the Tweeter Center in Camden, NJ or at the Borgata in Atlantic City. Just wondering how their performance is in a live setting. Anyone see any of their recent shows, or for that matter, any of their live shows? J

Well I just received this disc today (along with Blue Train), and after listening to it once through in stereo and once in multichannel, I am left breathless. The stereo track on this SACD easily bests the CD in terms of sonics as well as dynamics. Not to sound trite, but it is like Ms. Jones is...

Posted over at MusicTap was the following.

Posted over on MusicTap is news of Fleetwood Mac's latest studio album Say You Will will be coming to DVD Audio. The release for the CD is April 15th. Checking out Amazon I have found the DVD-A up for preorder here with a release date of April 15th as well. This looks like it could be a...

As big of a fan of SACD as I am, this news coming from Boris Loehe, Managing Director Sony Music Domestic (in Germany), and Willy Ehmann, Managing Director Sony Music international is a bit disheartening. I found this link here and translated the link using Babel Fish Translation. The...

Check out the new releases from Universal Link Removed Steely Dan Gaucho is listed as a multichannel Hybrid. Also of note from Johnny Cash are American Recordings, Unchained, Solitary Man , and The Man Comes Around . These four discs are listed as stereo Hybrids. The Wallflowers Red...

Looking over at MusicTap I found the following posted for yesterday's news found here.

Well I received my copy of REM Document today on DVD-A and have had a chance to listen to both the stero and multichannel tracks on this disc. First a note on the authoring. Both Group 1 and Group 2 on this disc contain the same multichannel 96/24 mix. Group 1 presents the material with...
