Details:
  I have been a lifelong audiophile. I started collecting brochures and catalogs when I was 12 (c. 1969), attended my first CES at 17 and have always loved music as well as being fascinated by good home reproduction. I played brass instruments (trumpet, baritone, trombone) from grade school and on to college. I have always spent far more on software than hardware.

If you had one multi channel SA-CD symphonic disc to offer a freind. Freindly Monday.

I see Tomita's version of the Planets has been recommended, but not the original orchestral version. The best recordings (Boult, etc.) are extremely expensive, but the Chandos 5.0 SACD: [t=6959] Is quite fine. The music depicts each planet in turn, starting with Mercury and working outward. One of my all time favorite pieces of music. ... more
