Name:
  Daniel Fee
Details:
  I am a fan of classical, jazz, gospel, R&B music - sometimes pop/rock & country.
Location:
  I am located on the west coast of USA so far.
HiFi:
  My system is: Oppo DV-981HD omni player + B&K REF 30 preamp + Bryston power amps on five channels + Def Tech BP10 & BP20 speakers + Velodyne powered subwoofer. I also have a Panasonic BlueRay player built into the system - and the red book CD sound is quite decent, leading me to suspect that the DAC is 24-bit.

First, it offers me the great symphony by Cesar Franck in the latest high resolution superaudio surround sound. Second, it represents the peripatetic and welcome return of the Ochestre de la ... more

July 30, 2009

I have it on RBCD, and have been waiting, waiting, waiting to see if Sony would ever get around to re-releasing it in SACD. Then comes this blue spec deal. So ... more

I appreciate the Brillian reg red book CD set by Barshai/CologneRSO, along with the Kitaenko/CologneRSO as much as anybody. I know that Rostropovich is said to have had a special relationship with the composer, but I so far find his recordings wanting. The reg CD ... more
