The Beatles Abbey

Released as a Flash drive 24/44, includes all the albums.  
My only beef, only the stereo releases are on it,  the 1st 4 albums are better in mono, as are the singles up until "Rain."
This is significantly better than the original or remastered CD's (16/44). The only comparison I can make is clean vinyl on a high end TT.

I've listened to these quit a bit
I agree about the mono stuff
There's a good article (I forget the website) out there
On how they were done an what equipment they used
About as good as you're gonna hear IMHO
A fine example of how to do a remaster justice

Can't find the set. Any particular place to look and what's the going rate if you know off the top of your head?

He is a famous Japanese artist that plays a lot of classic rock 'n' roll, but every once in a while, he throws out a very beautiful set of acoustic material. The emotion he plays into his material baffles me and I feel his music connect to me on a spiritual level. Regardless if the language is a barrier or not; I feel if music can convey emotion in a universal sense, there is something to be noted special about it.
 
This specific song is entitled "Uta Utai no Ballad" by Kazuyoshi Saito:

Currently in-session with "The Best Of Etta James." Rather than display the album cover, I decided to post her Star...what an artist! Using the easy to drive

 and much heralded HiFiMAN HE-6 (re-cabled), paired with Shindo Laboratory Preamp; Shindo Laboratory monaural amps, when Etta sings about falling in love or heartache, I believe it!

It's been a busy two weeks visiting Wisconsin, including a successful trip to my old record store. Usually I provide a short description of each album I've purchased, but today I'll just have to stick with names. It's a bit of an odd mix if you ask me, with everything from ska punk to ambient post-rock to synthpop to country.
