My preferences ran more towards Yes and Genesis; but tell me, how does the remastered KC sound?
Somewhere on the web I saw an edited trailer for the new film '2012" with all special effects taken out. It was pretty comical. I totally agree with Jim's list of Overdone/Well Done films. I would add some of the graphic novel-inspired films like ...
I also made my own panels, from Owens 705 semi-rigid fiberglass. I have large 2 x 4' panel bass traps in both front corners, smaller panels behind the L/C/R speakers, large panels at first reflection points on the side and a smaller panel on a dro...
I wonder if they'll make value-priced BD players. One of the great things about the Oppo DVD players was the price/performance ratio. I wouldn't expect them to compete with entry-level BD players, but perhaps something in the $200-$299 range.
So far, I've compared the stereo re-masters of Abbey Road and Sgt. Peppers with the '87 CD's (my mono box set is on back-order and I didn't want to purchase the entire stereo set without listening to a few discs first). I'm in the middle of doing ...
It's worth noting that while the volume level was changed a bit on the stereo remasters (only around 3-4 db, not the huge amounts that other recordings have done now), the mono ones have the volume level unchanged I believe. The packaging of the m...
Thanks Chris! That is what I needed to know. I have the early releases and was wondering if I really needed the new ones as some people said that if you don't have good equipment that gives higher resolution, it was not worth the upgrade. Well, my...
I've now listened to over half of the mono remasters, and most of Abbey Road in stereo as well, and I feel absolutely no regret about the money I spent. Maybe I'm paying more attention than I have in the past, but the albums sound better than I've...
I got home from CEDIA to find my order of the mono box set (along with Abbey Road, Let It Be, and Yellow Submarine stereo CD's) waiting for me to listen to. I'm currently ripping them all to FLAC, but listening to the first three albums this morni...
They are pressing more than 10,000 copies now, but no one is sure how many. I've had my mono box reserved for a couple months at Amazon now and can't wait for it to arrive (which will probably be while I'm at CEDIA unfortunately or I'd rip it to m...
I lost track of time, and tried to pre-order today. No luck, the first run is already sold out. They only printed 10,000 copies of the mono collection?! I know the mono boxed set will have a limited fan base, but c'mon we're talking about the Beat...
30 years ago, a friend of mine worked at Fisher in LA so I was able to purchase their gear at discount. I had their best receiver, I think 100watts per channel with a built-in five band equalizer. It sounded better than my Pioneer gear at the time...
Miscellaneous topics related to home theater and two-channel audio.
I'd be curious to see how flat the FR is across the spectrum, and distortion numbers.
I haven't used them, but know that Music Giants (aka HD Giants) also has hi-rez downloads.
