Or...you could just buy a cheapie Oppo player for your secondary system. The plethora of features you get for only $200 makes it an incredible value. I'm impressed with it even with my main player being an Esoteric DV-50. As for the backorder comment, the discs don't come out til April 2nd.

I have an Oppo in a secondary system that plays PAL and is region free. Not a bad player for the money. Nice to have for the random British dvds I want to watch. I have had good luck with price and fast shipping using Amazon UK. I know I won't be paying anywhere near $40 per disc, but I...

Would this be a good time to ask Rush to re-record "the worst sounding cd of all time" Vapor Trails? It's a shame too, it is a very good album.

I want to get the word out on this remaster. This was mastered from a badly worn record. Oh, and then it was super-EQ'd and then hyper-compressed. I am truly amazed at how poor this disc sounds... This actually may beat Rush's Vapor Trails for worst sounding cd ever produced! Let the...

I'm sure the reason no SACD, is due to licensing. NO question a SACD Fragile in 2006 would blow away the DVD-A. The question remains....Why no Hybrid SACD Mofi???? Please tell me, I'd like to know

OK, Fragile is being re-issued again. If this were a SACD, I would buy in a heartbeat. (I don't care for the menu driven DVD-A) But, this is just a remastered gold disc. I may be naive on this, but is there ANY way this disc could sound better than the higher resolution DVD-A from years ago? The...

I am cancelling on Monday. Without Music Lab, it's just not worth it. I do enjoy other channels, don't get me wrong, but probably one-third of my time is on Music Lab. Also, has anyone noticed more compression? I could be wrong, but XM just isn't sounding as good to me. That and it seems to...

Big demand for this title. I went to purchase this at Electric Fetus yesterday and they were sold out. I talked with one of the main guys who told me the sold 18 copies in one day! Pretty ridiculous about the omission of Qur'ran. First Danish Newspapers, then poor Brian Eno!!!! Hopefully I can...

I own a Onkyo 802 and I was surprised at its' impressive sound. It is used in a secondary system. (An Esoteric DV-50 is in the main.) By not expecting too much from the Onkyo, I was pleasantly surprised by its' sound. OK, my gripe. When the unit is turned on, "Imaginative sight and sound"...

Just received my allmusic.com update. The cd version lists Hunger for the Great Light at 6:52 while the dual disc lists 4:20. Please tell me they didn't edit this tune for dual disc. Weird, I thought dual disc could hold 65 minutes. Anyone have concrete info on if the dual disc will be high-res...

I too, own the 2000 and 7000 combo. My question to everyone is "Do the volt and amp numbers match up perfectly on your units?" There is a .5 to 2.0 difference in amps and up to 2 volt difference between the units. My call to Monster was pointless, the person gave me a real B.S. answer. Can the...

Wow, I have to disagree with John... Roland's solo album was incredible. Actually, one of my top ten desert island discs. Yes, it is a little out there for some. I appreciate the fact that he didn't use the TFF name so that he could be less restricted, and be VERY creative. A+ Curts albums...

Brilliant album. Plain and simple. Should make many reviewers top 10 album lists. What exclusives does itunes offer? NP: Interpol Antics

My SACD gripe... If you announce a title will come out on a certain date, HONOR IT and RELEASE IT. Where are the Steely Dan SACDs? They were announced, delayed a few times, then cancelled. Pure frustration. NP: Interpol Antics

time to wake this thread up. Any comments on the sound quality of the new Atlantic remasters? Also, Vapor Trails is not available with no new release date in sight. What happened? While I think a definite improvement could be made on Presto, I would want to know about improvements on...

Here I thought this would be information on what Craig would be doing next. Such as production, another show for say HBO, etc. I think Kilborn is funny as hell, and yes his ego is part of the humor. There are plenty of shows and musicians that I dislike. However, I don't e-mail threads saying...

Can't I escape work??? you crack me up Philip, I'm an independant distributor for Thomas' products. I would hope my company wouldn't go after you.

...and it only took 8 years!!! Hopefully this release will bring about re-issuing their first two albums. All of their output BELONGS on super audio. First rate demo material.

Normally I would count down the days till ANY new Rush title. I will wait on purchasing this title. If Rush has such a blatant disregard for sound quality (Vapor Trails) I won't purchase. By the way, I own every Rush cd made. They are one of my favorites. Despite being a great album, Vapor...

I picked up the DVD version for $28 as well. My disc was not locked in place, therefore many transit scratches. When I return the set, I may get the SACD version only. I find it insulting that the included DVD is an EDIT! 40 minutes shorter! Kind of tacky in my mind...

I own a MB CL500, and was told by various installers that changing out my stereo/nav system would run between $5-12K(!) Yes, the Bose systems have individual amps for their speakers and its all connected via fiber optics. My gripe is the sound is compressed and there are MAJOR d/a artifacts with...

The collection is nice, as well as the sound. My problem is there is NO information about the albums, what year the song was recorded, the musicians on each track, etc. Lame packaging.

First, no cracks in the disc. The two-channel sound is fantastic with the exception of Babylon sisters, which sounds a bit dull to me. Well worth purchasing the album, again. I did listen to my favorite, Glamour profession, in 5.1 and did not care for it. Perhaps I'm becoming a two-channel...

How about the COMPLETE Plays Live on SACD? Highlights=pan and scan. FYI, I paid about $16 each for the hybrids from Amazon.co.uk A bargain!

I read sometime ago that all of their albums would be coming to SACD. Anyone know any info on this? I waited a year for the Peter Gabriel SACDs and am wondering if it will be a year for Simple Minds as well. Thanks NP: King Crimson The Power to Believe

I like the new material. Hearing Happy With What... and Eyes wide open live would be incredible! Please no complaining about ticket price, KC is NOT coming to the Twin Cities and I might need to do a road trip... NP (still!) KC club 21 Champaign Sessions Also, it comes down to what you...

Yogi, In a perfect world, yes that would be available. And yes, I would buy it!!!:laugh:

It's an Okyko M5030 and $269 which I think is a great deal myself. One of my problems is I have a dog nose. Seriously, I could work at airports or with the police!!! I was hoping to find cleaners to use on the inside. Something that would leave a aniseptic or "that new piece of equipment"...

Over the weekend, I bought a mid-eighties dual-mono Onkyo power amplifier. The sound is fantastic! The only thing is the musty smell of it. I was told the amp had been in storage for many years. Running the amp all weekend has not lessened the smell. Any thoughts on cleaning the heat-sinks...

Patience paid off! Now I can buy remastered Peter!!! I was thinking of starting a thread asking if people are buying remasters on convential cds anymore. Some of my favorite artists I've bought 2-3 times now on cd, and I refuse to buy unless in high-res. Any thoughts out there? Anyone know...
