£88 on Amazon Saw a copy today in a second hand shop of the original Vanguard American edition still in it's wrapper for £11, what's so special about the U.K. release? apart from it being a mono copy!

Got the box set on CD. Love it. It is well regarded for sound quality here. HD Tracks are asking a thick wedge for both their releases. If there are any brave guinea pigs taking the plunge I would very much appreciate your views. Thank you

I found this on another forum. Its a interesting read. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/08...=&pagewanted=all

Are there any Naim Forum people living in the Cumbria area that would fancy a meet up. Maybe in a pub first and then progressing to a music evening somewhere. Just an idea.

Through my Naim DAC.  Its lucky i like it. What does your computer tell you? What album have played the most this year?

The original multi-track session and album masters have been revisited by Steven Wilson (of Porcupine Tree and Blackfield) who has prepared new stereo and 5.1 Surround Sound mixes." http://www.caravan-info.co.uk/...thanniversaryedition...

Am in the process of putting my favourite / most listened to 500 or so CD's onto my newly acquired HDX (which I think is great btw) and am wondering where / how best to store them - would the loft be OK or are the temperatures up there going to be too...

Last weekend we heard a really beautiful choral track on RTE Lyric FM's evening show 'The Magic Carpet'. It had a fantastic other-wordly feel, reminded me vaguely of the 'Les Mistere Des Voix Bulgares' recordings. The playlist on the website...

I know there are a few fans of 'old school' electronic music on the forum (or were in the past anyway), so I thought some might be interested in a thread with news about it.  The Esoteric-label have re-released several of Tangerine Dream's...
