    I'll just wait for the duel-format players to come onto the market, just as I did with DVD-A/SACD.

    Donner Superman 2 SE (merged thread)

    I'm loving all this talk on a possible SII DVD re-release. As long as this thread stays active and WB stumble across it and start their creative minds thinking...

    Donner Superman 2 SE (merged thread)

    All the above sounds great, but even a SE edition of S2 with remixed 5.1 ST and improved transfer will make me happy! It's so damn frustrating to go from S1 to S2 with that HUGE drop in presentation quality...

    New U2 DVD on it's Way

    I'm loving the Slane disc...I just feel the show and performance is much more passionate and better representation of what a live U2 show is like. The uncompressed PCM track at 1536 Kbps is VERY nice too...

    Technical Question about Music DVD's

    I'm sure the music forum is the right spot for my query; Being downunder in R4 PAL land I'm always concerned about the 4% speed up in the soundtracks of my PAL music DVD's. My question - if a music DVD (Concert) is recorded in PAL (Europe?) does this mean the R1 release would be 4% slower...

    Harry Nilsson's 'The Point' Coming to DVD!!!

    It seems to have been withdrawn - my original link to Harry's website now defaults to his homepage. Very strange indeed - you could even pre-order through Amazon from Harry's site when I originally posted this thread. Hopefully a new release date is set soon.

    Prince live at the Aladdin Las Vegas DVD drops Tues 8/19/2003

    Now before I continue let me just say I'm a HUGE Prince fan... But early reports on this disc have not been the best. I'll post more once I get a copy myself but I think there may be more better Prince presentations than this. It was shot on miniDV and only has a PCM stereo mix. More...

    Thriller-The Showdown - SACD vs. Remaster CD

    I'm glad this thread was bumped as I didn't catch it the first time! After reading this I may actually go and track this SACD down - I was avoiding it because it had no surround mix but I still love this album...

    Simple Minds SACD Reviews???

    Anyone seen any reviews on the new Simple Minds SACD's? I'm particularly interested in the 2-CD Greatest Hits set. Any feedback???

    I'm Liking SACD!!!

    Up until recently the only SACD i had was Mariah Carey '#1's'...very ordinary 2 ch mix which sounds more like an average remastered redbook than anything else. Getting all the airtime on my system were DVD-A titles like Donald Fagen's 'The Nightfly' & Fleetwood's 'Rumours' as they are great...

    Is My Stones CD a Hybrid ???

    The discs i got came in a jewel case - not a digipak. It does have 'DSD Remastered' down the front spine and also refers to both DSD and SACD technology in the insert. HMV also had digipak versions which were slightly more expensive but the only difference i could find was they included an...

    Is My Stones CD a Hybrid ???

    Just got the Abkco remastered 'Hot Rocks' CD but i'm having trouble playing the SACD layer on my Pioneer 45a (655A in Australia) player. It only says 'CD' when inserted and even setting the player to play 2 ch SACD layer it still won't register as a SACD. Are all the Abkco remastered...

    Obscure Nilsson UK only album

    I'll definitely check out the Point re-issue CD. Would love the movie on DVD however...great childhood memories.

    Norah Jones on SACD.... Excellent!!!

    Are there any 'official' reviews on the net yet for this SACD? Not that i don't trust these over my fellow HTF members :) PS. Just getting into SACD's as i only have 'Kind of Blue' on SACD. My first order from Amazon looks like this; 'DSOTM', 'Come Away With Me' & 'Get Your Yars Yars Out'...

    Pioneer DV-45A does not have bass management

    Firstly let me just say that i love this player and i never dreamed of having both SACD and DVD-A functionality for such a low price. My set up consists of a budget JBL sat+sub package in which the JBL sats are 50w and the sub is 100w. I run a Pioneer DD/DTS receiver which is 80w/ch and this...

    Simple Minds SACD Greatest Hits

    Very glad this is out...i will be tracking this down for sure! Nothing like 80's memories wrapped up in DSD technology :)

    Norah Jones: SACD When???

    I know this is always being discussed, but when is the SACD for Norah's album actually being released? I haven't heard any news or seen any reviews... I'm one of the few people who have held off buying the CD in anticipation for the SACD - maybe i should not wait any longer and get the...

    Donner Superman 2 SE (merged thread)

    I would also love an SE version of this film. There are so many different extras and deleted scenes they could add to this release. After watching the SE version of the first film you put this on and get the very plain transfer and dolby 2 channel sound and you have to switch it off - no...

    DVHS decks for $600. Ok, I'm starting to get tempted.
