Anyone heard the Toshiba EMI Pink Floyds
Kelly,Charlie et al,This is getting confusing but probably only to me.First up the EMI releases were first,remastered in 1992-94 as you state Kelly by Doug Sax.In 1997 Columbia (not EMI)released 30th Anniversary editions of some Floyd albums-DSOM ... 
Anyone heard the Toshiba EMI Pink Floyds
GuysThey are already available mail order,not too expensive here in the UK.However are we sure they've been remastered?They come in the little miniture LP sleeves like the Doors re-issues,but in the ad I've seen they do not mention remastering,nor... 
ARCAMS
Xmore,I kind of have the other side of the equation.I auditioned the FMJCD23 about a year or so ago,I had an Arcam 7 cd player a few years back but have never heard the 9 or the new Diva's.You'll probably know that the CD23 is really a modified 9,... 
Is DVD-A still-born?
Elizabeth I am envious of your selection of formats,seems you've done it at a price that you will not lose out on.Here in the UK prices on hi-fi gear is just that bit more expensive although I may well follow your lead and go for a Sony SACD or eq... 
Is DVD-A still-born?
Elizabeth,Ideally I would like to be in your position and have a player for all the formats.Maybe if I win the lottery or stop buying so many CD's.I don't know if you read the posting from Resolution Audio but they seem pretty confused about the d... 
Jazz Review: Miles Davis
Nice work SDC.I'd also add that if you are not into Miles Davis more challenging work but like The Kind Of Blue era then I add Ascenseur Pour L'echafaud(Lift To The Scaffold)-a soundtrack from 1957.It's released on Fontana and the CD has the compl... 
Digital Rules
How does he tape TV shows? 
Is DVD-A still-born?
I agree with most of what's been said,sensible comments one and all.I do feel however my main point is being missed in that already a lot of homes have bought DVD players-why are people going to replace these machines?The average Joe doesn't want ... 
Some Fun? "B" Groups/Performers??
Mark Eitzel--voted songwriter of the year by Rolling Stone in 1991,used to front a band called American Music Club,now solo with an electronica based album out called the Invisible Man.He's never sold many records but has written some of the most ... 
My latest find. What's yours?
Mark Lanegan----Field Songs---nice acoustic,atmospheric modern blues from the guy who used to sing in the Screaming Trees.Harold Budd-Luxa-had this for a few years but had forgotten how great it was-piano based ambient music-beautiful.Lift To Expe... 
Is "WHAT HI-FI" a good read?
I think to be fair,I'm not sure you can say that they don't break their demo's in,I've seen items such as the Sony SACD's given great reviews, these are notoriously long in running in,if what I read here is true.They must have some level of profes... 
Is "WHAT HI-FI" a good read?
Sugarbie,I agree about the reviews however if you check their monthly testing CD's,it's usually a mixture of styles of music they listen to or at least profess to listen to.Personally I think this mag is about keeping the low to medium market in t... 
Is "WHAT HI-FI" a good read?
I have a healthy scepticism towards most of the UK mags,What Hi-fi is really aimed at the low to medium market in the UK-the reviews are predictible but the magazine is good at what it is.Hi-fi +,is much more high-end and frankly has a few writers... 
I normally don't ask for help, but.....
They are in my prayers too.Ben
