But it's very annoying (impossible) to listen with hopefully better sound from Radio and watch TV when the sound & vision are out of sync because of digital TV delay.

The subject header says it in a nutshell.In more than a nutshell, I'm thrilled to tell you all that my new album, SINCE FOREVER, is finally available. It features ten new songs of mine, a new version of an old song, and one cover, In A Silent Way, a...
Apologies if I missed this on one of the many other threads but according to an article at Diversevinyl's website:Mono CD set has a cut-off date, orders need to be with EMI by 26th August (so presumably earlier at your music shop of choice)Setero CD...
