Eric Clapton: 461 Ocean Boulevard        (10 of 10 found this review helpful)
  May 11, 2005

When listening to albums featuring Eric Clapton I try to pinpoint an undisputable reason for his reputation as one of the greatest guitarists. While I believe this to be true, it is very hard to do. In a similar way, when listening to an SA-CD, I look for an undisputable part that can be used as ... more
T-Rex: Electric Warrior        (5 of 5 found this review helpful)
  February 23, 2005

I got this sa-cd expecting to hear the ultimate version of "Get it On". I have this song in several cd compilations though never had the album Electric Warrior. Listening to the multi-channel mix, I was very impressed by every song. The album is very strong from start to end. The album lyrics have ... more
Deep Purple: Machine Head        (5 of 5 found this review helpful)
  December 27, 2004

Rock music can sound amazing on SA-CD. The energy of this performance is showcased better than ever. Previous CD versions I have heard were always missing something and I always came away somewhat disappointed even before SA-CD was part of my life. The SA-CD version is not missing anything. As ... more
Aimee Mann: Bachelor No. 2        (4 of 4 found this review helpful)
  August 13, 2004

I had been curious about Bachelor #2 ever since I saw the movie Magnolia to which Aimee Mann provided many songs. The characters in that movie go through difficult times. Her music was so relevant to the scenes and appeared throughout the movie so many times that her music was also a main ... more

Discussion: Schubert: Impromptus - Chiao Ying Chang
April 20, 2005
Surprised it took so long for these Impromptus to appear on SA-CD. Not being overly familiar with classical music I figured if I heard of it, it must be out in 10 versions already. Anyone have an idea what to expect from this recording performance and soundwise? I've heard in my opinion good (Brendel,Philips) and disappointing (Jando,Naxos) on cd ... more
Discussion: Bryan Ferry: Boys & Girls
April 20, 2005
Frantic has been available in Canada at several retailers for some time at average SA-CD prices. Got mine for the equivalent of $20 US. It's a very good SA-CD. Completely different than Boys and Girls and Avalon insofar as mix and music. ... more
Discussion: The Rolling Stones: Let It Bleed
March 15, 2005
From the Hot Rocks SACD, "Brown Sugar" and "Wild Horses" are definite standouts. The sound quality on these songs is on par with the "Beggars Banquet" and "Let it Bleed" SACD's. What a tease! ... more
Beck's Guero SACD axed?!!
March 11, 2005
I expressed interest in an sa-cd release of Guero through the contact page at http://www.beck.com. (envelope icon). On the bottom left hand side of the contact page is an area for comments that are treated separately from fan mail. Hopefully comments there are read and taken seriously. ... more
Rear Speakers
January 10, 2005
I listen mostly to rock music. I had large rears(which I set to small for bass management), then switched to satellites for my "better half". The overall sound went from heavy to ping pong. Even when no obvious sounds were coming from the rears there was a noticeably lighter sound. I ended up switching back to the large rears for new kitchen ... more
