| Bad sounding recordings You should hear Sisters and Brothers on SACD. Very fine recording. | |
| Annoying newbie CD/SACD player question Re Sony cd/sacd/dvd players, I have an old s570. CD layer is mid fi at best but I find the player sounds pretty good playing SACD's with good amp and speakers (YBA/ProAc) They can be good interim or back up players IMHO. | |
| Vintage cassette playlists I never knew there were programmable turntables! | |

| Rock performers that play/record a different genre Honeydrippers! I have that cd and forgot about it. Pretty good sound also. | |
| Best Sound Track Ever Vote for One Hell or High Water - great outlaw country. | |
| Blind Test: mp3 vs. 24bit I find these A/B tests futile. The real test, at least for me, is to listen to a familiar song/album at the higher resolution, then the same at the mp3 (or whatever). Your ears will tell you which is the lesser quality - the song won't sound "righ... | |
| Best unplugged live +1 on Stripped. Start with Not fade away and come around back to SFM and Like a Rolling Stone. Much better mix that way imho. |
