it's more like 1500-2000 cds and I don't own an ipod either. ;) I have a crappy little mp3 player I use to preview stuff before I burn it to disk. ;)-me ...
Now I'm getting spoiled on high-resolution audio formats such as SACD and DVD-A. Many of the 5.1 multi-channel releases that I have are breathtaking to listen...
Right now I am listening to the White Eagle vinyl LP, which is fantastic. I would also like to hear Tangram, Force Majeure, Logos or White Eagle on surround...
Gotta love the SACD effects of DSotM! It seems they keep trying to make this recording better and better. What's next, 3-D holograms of Waters, Gilmour,...

... 1500+ sounds like a fair-sized compilation, at least if I'm right in assuming it represents a few decades of music collecting? My CD shelf numbers a bit...
Ah, another SACD fan! Great. I presume you have "Rubycon" which is quite superb in the format. Some time ago I bought "Force Majeure" on vinyl and couldn't...
Of course I have Rubycon in my SACD collection. Within the first few seconds after pressing START, one can recognize the extra clarity and thickness an SACD...
... I don't think that awful promotion was the problem with SACD, just that it wasn't really the right product for the time. Blu-ray audio is better...
From: Oscar <hyperborea@...> ... I was wondering how people in general count their CDs. When you say you have 5000 CD's, do you actually have 5000 discs?...
Yes, I have 5,000 of those shiny discs. I count each and every disc as a separate entry, so Klaus Schulze's 25 CD Jubilee Edition set is counted as 25....
I guess you are talking about Dolphin Dance. It is true what you say about this track because it has a powerful beat going along to it. I have considered doing...
I think the problem wasn't with marketing but more so with the unfortunate fact that most people just aren't bothered about audiophile quality. To most the...
"I'll drop £10K on a system to ensure I have audio perfection" ...and then rip everything to iTunes and stream it to a hi-fi or PS3 ? How very odd. £ 10k...
Agree with a lot of this. People often equate digital music = inferior to CD. When potentially the exact opposite is the case. Lossless = CD. But why limit...
The £10K was spent before MP3 came out. Still have the system, it's lovely, the point was that it doesn't get used any more. ... [Non-text portions of this...
Cool. Most I ever spent on a system was just £1k (Denon integrated separates) Probably cost you that much just for your tone-arm ! (What system is it by the...

Alright, We have a few hifists on the forum. I agree with the statement that the majority are satisfied with the MP3 format and also agree with Neil Young's...

Yes I do. All King Crimson have been re-re-re-re-re...re-released on that format. some are improvements some are just as they were first issued on CD (THRAK)....
