At one point there was supposed to be a release of the remainder of the Steely Dan catalog in surround... Has anyone heard anything on when (if ever) this will see the light of day? Will these titles disappear like the proverbial sock in the laundry as Jackson Browne's Running on Empty has...

Last Friday after what seems like an infinite wait (really about 2 weeks from ordering to arrival) I received in interesting player from DVD Upgrades... I'd been saving my shekels for a number of months, and finally had the funds together for them to do their unique digital audio modification...

Philips SACD1000 Multi-channel SACD and DVD-Video player available for sale. I'm upgrading to an SACD only player (no video stage) for my main system, and am looking for a loving home for this player. This player was repaired in early 2004 in Tampa by Jim Lucas with the Furore and MACE...

According to this story on Audio Revolution it will be -- in two test markets anyway. I can't say for certain on this, but the article does correlate with what I've heard from my sources... But I was asked to keep it quiet. Since AR is publishing the story, I guess it's OK to comment that...

As reported by High Fidelity Review

It has been reported by High Fidelity Review (and others) that Chesky Records will resume production of DVD-Audio discs. Details of titles and target dates weren't provided, but given that Chesky captures @ 24/96K, this means the work involved isn't as dramatic as it could otherwise be...

I got a copy of Gordon Goodwin's Big Phat Band's new disc, XXL Wednesday of last week and am finally getting around to making a few comments. Buy this disc. Buy this disc. Buy this disc. :D Ok seriously now, we tend to rag on Silverline for a lot of releases that are lacking in sound...

Quoted below is the entire text of Universal Music's Press Release this morning about their intended DVD-Audio releases.

The manufacturing and distribution arms of WEA have been sold to Cinram International for approximately US$1 billion. Reported by the Toronto Star There is no mention of the sale of WEA catalog, which (IMO) would fetch a substantially larger sale price. Regards,

I'm curious why the choice by Universal to release Steely Dan's Gaucho title on SACD when the production work was done in 24/96K. It seems to me, the best utilization of this would be DVD-A.... Something to ponder after reading this article from Surround Pro's website. Rgards,

Reports that Universal Music was supporting SACD as their Hi-Res format exclusively are greatly exaggerated just as Mark Twain once said "reports of my death are greatly exaggerated". But, don't take my word for it... take Universal's So from the big five we have the following with...

I'm curious if anyone else has read Jon Iverson's opinion piece (the "As We See It" column) in the latest (April 2003) issue of Stereophile. He has interesting commentary, and I'd like to know what others think about it. Regards,

I am merely passing along information gathered from Philip Brandes' CES report at High Fidelity Review, read the details here. So much for SACDs hybrid advantage if this report proves to be true. Regards,

Ray Brown's title from Concord Jazz, Soular Energy is available on SACD from Groove Note Records, and on DVD-Audio/Video from Hi-Res Music. Both labels received the same masters for use, so it will be interesting to see how the two compare. The Hi-Res title is uniquely authored, with DVD-V...

After mucho delay due to remixing, the consensus king of 5.1 mixing, Elliot Scheiner does his handiwork on the first solo album from Steely Dan front man Donald Fagen. Included in this release are: 24/48K 5.1 Mix 24/48K Stereo Mix from original masters DD (don't know mix) DTS 5.1...

I received a screener copy of this disc about two weeks ago, and in that time have had the pleasure to play it back on both a Kenwood DV-5700 and the Meridian 598/568.2 combination. The stereo tracks are direct from 30ips stereo masters. The surround tracks are from original multi-track...

(Sound of clearing throat)... Is this on? Sorry, couldn't resist.

Original series Bryston 4B ampflifier for sale. This bad boy is out of warranty (yes it's that old), however in 1998, it was shipped back for service, and I received back essentially a new amplifier inside. Changeover to a 6 channel amplifier means the 4B is no longer needed in my system. I...
