About three months ago I wrote of my elation at buying the 34-disc set of Domenico Scarlatti’s complete keyboard sonatas as played by Scott Ross for a paltry $140. I also mentioned that I was up to the challenge of listening for weeks. The time...
I was going to add this to the existing thread on rare repertoire, but I’m so enthusiastic about this disc that I had to write it up separately. I was fortunate enough to pick up the recent DG Originals release of Michael Tilson Thomas...
Has anyone got it or heard it?Is it worth purchasing-I love the two previous albums but have foolishly read too many bad reviews of the new album and convinced myself that it should be approached with caution.Is it as bad as I've read?(And yes,I know...
They are offering a lot of music through TV commercials lately and I was wondering if anyone has bought anything through them. In particular, I was wondering if the quality was good or not. Just a simple query, anyone with direct experience please let...
I enjoy some classical music but have very little. Now what I want to do this weekend is get a couple of CDs, and what I am after is some recommendations for some classical music.Aware that everyones tastes will differ may I just name two peices that...
Pet Sounds is one of my all time favourite albums, however the sound quality on my vinyl copy is terrible. The pressing is fine but the production is horrible. It sounds like they are playing and singing in a glass bottile! I understand there have...

Can anybody tell me what the sound quality is like on the early Beach Boys CDs? Or for that matter any Beach Boys CD.jim...............
What is it about the piano? I have been pondering that question lately as I have found myself listening to a higher proportion of solo piano recordings. Is it the uniquely broad range of both tonal and colors output by this magnificent instrument?...
When I sold my CD3 the guy there asked what music I had, and took me through his collection, he was quite taken aback when I said I hadn't heard of joni Mitchells, Hissing Lawns, or Hissing Trees can't remember which.anyhoo, will look for that soon,...
I just bought a second hand copy of Ella & Louis and visually the record looked OK with no scratches. It sound bad however when I played it and after 2 cleanings with my VPI 16.5 it still doesn't sound that great. It has alot of surface noise and alot of cracking. Is there anything that can be done to revive it? John
After the hifi show I bought "Daisies of the Galaxy" by Eels. Normally when I listen to a CD I usually end up wondering what the vinyl would sound like. I don't know what this is like on vinyl (nor do I care ). This is the first time that I have put...
I went by the Tower Records closing sale on Sunday, and picked up a bunch CDs. Some are good, and others are laughable:Tripping Daisy "Bill" - This was their first album, and isn't quite as "twisted" as their later albums. It's still fun, though.Cafe...
Has anyone got their album, I have bought the mecury awards CD and they are on there and I like.Whats the rest of the album like?Cheers
......., would of course have to be Tenacious D. For those not hip to the "D", they are an awesome acoustic rock duo who got their start on HBO doing a couple shorts. They toured last year and the show in Detroit was amazing; a jam-packed sold-out...

I realised that since upgrading speakers a few months ago last night was the first time I had listened to one of my favourite albums by this, now deceased, singer. It just made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I then sat and worked my way...
My wife had some time to spare downtown, so she thought she would pick up some music for me. (What a sweet girl! ) She happened upon " Café del Sol vol.2", which she mistook for part of the " Café Del Mar" series (of which I own and...
Has anyone done a comparison of the new Miles Davis LP reissues (180gram) to the new CD remasters? I have about 10 of the CD remasters and am tempted to buy the vinyl but I understand they were digitally remastered. My TT is a P9 and my CD player a...
