Received my copy today. Really quick shipping considering it came from overseas. Will have to wait until tomorrow evening to listen, but I'm...

I wouldn't spend too much time chasing this particular rainbow. With all due respect to Kal, the actual audible benefits of SACD -- and certainly...

Great to see this title pop up! I have been neglecting this gem and have added it to my "to play" list. Thanks for the reminder! If this is still...

How much did you pay for the SKYNYRD?

Jaco Pastorius Big Band: The Word Is Out! (2006) is a good big band release, the second of two multichannel SACDs by the JPBB. The band is spread all...

SHIT IN-SHIT OUT

Thanks for all your responses Mr.R, I'll have another fiddle around and see if I can replicate the SA-CD distortion jazzapalooza under different...

Thanks. YMMV certainly applies because completely valid comparisons are hard to come by. There are equally erudite analyses with different...

Good find Now does anyone know how to open this with a Mac ? Thank you Don

Welcome Simba. I moved your posts to the Welcome thread (from the 10 year thread)

I found a free oscilloscope program that works on your computer with your sound card.

the BD's in Euro sets of Aqualung & WYWH both have authoring glitches/errors, yes. there were replacements at one time for the WYWH BD but not...

I would not mix and match speakers. Use the same brand, preferably from the same year back and front. If you have to go smaller in the rears, try...

as far as I can recall (can't find source of info at min sorry) the WYWH Guthrie 5.1 was proven to be from PCM, so the BD in the WYWH Immersion set...

I don't think that either are so good or so bad that there will really be that much difference. Given their age though, I would buy the ones that...

I've had KLH 23 and loved them. Maybe no comparison to more modern (much) higher priced units, but hard to beat in that price range. I think they...

just tried the iphone app out.. ..if it was my first/only experience of surround, it wouldn't encourage me to pursue it. nice idea though and...

Thanks! I was iffy on the various russian discs floating around ebay...maybe I'll try to snag one of these instead.
