| Benjamin Britten Songs The most famous (arguably) from a rock/mainstream point of view to have a listen to is Corpus Christi Christ on the late Jeff Buckley's Grace.Sorry to point you in a non-Classical direction. | |
| Sacd/dvd-a, The Hype Is Dead, For Me At Least... Interesting to hear so many points I can identify with having been down a similar route.It has long been my contention that the formats have failed to attract even large sections of what should have been the early adoptors. | |
| Man, am i losing my hearing? Slappy seriously you should get it checked.There is a condition called Otoscerlosis (sp?)which can hit you late 20's early 30's and is basically genetic and not related to outside considerations like your military background.You are more likely to... | |
| When audiophiles visit for a listening session I really didn't think anybody had the 2nd Head East album-I haven't heard it in well over twenty years....thankfully. | |
| About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone Have a good weekend Pat, we'll worry about next week when it comes. | |
| Your Wish List for Reissue on Vinyl The early Richard Thompson back catalogue including IWTSTBLT was re-released on remastered CD here in the UK last year with bonus live tracks | |
| Another sign SACD is dying I also dabble in Jazz and classical-my two most recent were Pat Methney and Keith Jarret's new ones.Classical is the same,the most recent things I've bought Satie on EMI and also some Choral Renaissance music were both only Redbook.I admit the maj... | |

| What is your idea of a Perfect Album? Ashra I was going to respond to the original post when I read your reply-a man after my own heart when a very nice selection of music from different genres and eras and I say that with the admission I have never heard some of the music you mention... | |

| Why Lots of Current Music Sounds Miserable... Entrope which of these recordings you refer to have you heard in your system? | |
| Why Lots of Current Music Sounds Miserable... Yes but what "crap" are we talking about? | |
| Why Lots of Current Music Sounds Miserable... I usually find three things about threads about the recording quality of modern releases.1.The person making them doesn't buy very much new music.2.Examples of compression (and yes of course it happens)are thin on the ground.3.Examples are given o... | |
| Any problems with Springsteens DualDisc? Whilst the Sprinsteen disc has a seperate DVD here in the UK,HI-FI Choice magazine last month gave away a Dualdisc and my Ayre CX-7 just doesn't read it at all.Not good. | |
| Another sign SACD is dying I think the strangest thing in this debate that most of us are actually not that far apart on the fundamental issues.My belief is that those who have gotten most out of SACD are those who've been lucky enough to have serious money to spend on a pl... |
