    Telarc 1812 Overture: new vs. old

    I,too, have thought the cannon fire seemed weak. Then again, I am listening through headphones. But for anyone listening through speakers, it may be worth noting that for the 1812 Overature recording Telarc used the LFE channel for "height" information and not for the subwoofer. According to...

    Christopher O'Riley Plays Radiohead?

    I liked the O'Riley album a lot. If you like the sound of piano and you like radiohead, then I think you will really enjoy the album. It has, in my opinion, more of a relaxed feel to it than is present in the original radiohead performances of the songs, and I find it a nice complement to the...

    Pink Floyd's Echoes

    Echoes is a pretty good album. I don't own it, but a friend of mine does so I gave it a listen. It really does have a lot of the high points of Pink Floyd's music, but there were also many many omissions, and the title track was shortened considerably from its original version, which...

    Best Pink Floyd album?

    If you really care for someone.....

    stick around. even though the relationship may not least, the emotional support you can offer could at least leave you coming out of it with a friend. it may work out or it may not, but if you dont try you wont know. however, if the girl is asking for huge monetary support, id be wary.

    How much money has this 'place' influenced you to spend?

    I broke a grand and stopped keeping track. 1) Senn HD580s 2) Corda HA-1 3) Sony SCD-C555ES 4) Stefan AudioArt Equinox for the 580s also a bunch of music. worth every penny.

    SACD -- an illogical choice

    Yeah reading all this makes SACD look like it should sound horrible. But to my ears SACD sounds much better than redbook. I know in statistics, the best estimator is not always the one that returns the closest estimate of the true value (MVUE), but one that gets close with the least amount of...
