| Vinyl Back in Black Review I bought the Roxy Music (self-titled) Back in Black and I have never been more disappointed with a record purchase (well, OK, the Amy Winehouse records but that was cheap). It's unlistenable. I've never heard the original pressing so I have no ide... | |

| 1970's With regard to good sonics...The early Elton John UNi pressings I have are exceptional. I don't know what happened when the name changed to MCA but those later pressings and releases are not as good.Early 70s Warner Bros tend to be very good. I'm ... | |

| The best CD Player for the money Musical Fidelity A5.10 pages and not one mention of the Musical Fidelity A5 which is a bargain at twice the price. I have the MF TriVista SACD player and the redbook CD is amazing at $6500 new (used $3000). But the A5 I auditioned might have been ... | |

Hey Doc_stereo!Go to Europe and play an ABBA song on the juke box and all the wives will love you.They're still incredibly beloved there.I have all their albums! (But I'm pretty sure I got them all for a buck or less.)Although I did pay full price... | |
| Do you have a secret "guilty pleasure" recording? The Carpenter's "A Song For You."Incredibly well-recorded and thanks to A&M generally well-manufactured.Probably their only album that really stands together as a seamless whole and the only one made for adults. Very entertaining and Karen's v... | |

Landing On Water.I admire any artist who experiments with with new sounds and technologies, but these were phoned in.He has always had a tendency to... | |
| Neil Young goes Blu Ray think it will catch on? IT would seem to me that BluRay has to be the successor format. Goodbye, DVD-A and SACD. It's already won the format war with HD-DVD and it has all the resolution anyone could ever need. When it comes to the extras, I'm old-fashioned though. I sti... |
