Hidden Audiophile Classics
zenaudio: on the basis of your post, i bought "deadman walking" today- a bargain priced disc @ $10.99. gotta say, you are right. this is a great disc, maybe the "casino royale" of our time. that said, you'd best avoid it if your on the downward si... 
MISSING THE POINT?
mr. campbell, i think you misperceive some on the posts on this thread, including my 1st one. (my second post was meant in good humor; i apologize to all it may have offended.) there are, to me, at least two definitions of "new music" in your orig...

CD Recordings
audioquest offers a handful of discs on both sacd and so-called "redbook" format. i've heard only a couple of the sacd's from audioquest but own numerous "redbook" titles. by and large the entire audioquest catalouge is well-recorded and includes ... 
Replace my dac (NOW!)?
