So I'm off to Japan in about a month to visit friends and family ( in-laws) for about 2 weeks. Of course I don't need to point out that i will be spending a lot of time shopping and checking out headphone-audio stuff while i'm there.
However, I really would like to get some ideas on Classical and Jazz CD's I should try to get while I'm there. I have been into classical music for over a year now and already have built a nice little library of classical CDs (~100 albums). As for Jazz I just started to get into the genre and only have a few albums but so far really enjoying it and would like to get more exposure to it.
I sometimes read here on the forum and elsewhere (forums, reviews etc) of japanese versions of some albums that seem to have better sound mastering than the ones in the US or are only available in Japan. As the CD prices are more expensive in japan, I would like to limit my CD shopping there to only those which cannot be found here in the US or those imported which cost considerably more.
so If you have any suggestions I would love to get some ideas from you all!
As a starter I just saw one thread here and after checking some reviews and listening some samplers I am planning to get these two albums.
Midnight Sugar [HYBRID SACD - DSD] - by Tsuyoshi Yamamoto trio
A Love Supreme - John Coltrane
Thanks in advance for your suggestions!
