Although a little early in the year this one seems to have a good following on the net and on this very forum.It's on order.
http://www.theguardian.com/mus...of-physical-graffiti From The Guardian. The Led Zeppelin reissue programme continues next month with an anniversary special – the new edition of Physical Graffiti arrives on 23 February, almost exactly 40 years after the album was first released – on 24 February 1975. Fans’s interest will once again be centred on the unreleased tracks on the companion disc. This time they are: Brandy & Coke (Trampled Under Foot – initial rough mix) Sick Again (early...
Can someone explain the reason there's different format Cd's. Some of my CD's make the red light come on my CD5XS. I thought cd was a CD. Audiophile, SACD, HDCD. slightly puzzled I mean £30 for a SACD.. are these uncompressed copy's?
Since a lot of us are now using Spotify in our uniti's what about sharing some of the good music floating around through playlist sharing? I have opened and quickly built a playlist . I have added some soul, jazzy in no special order....
I think this has been live for a few days, need a US credit card and address so appears to be US only. Personally I was initially excited to see RHCP 96/24 for Blood Sugar, Stadium Arcadium, By The Way etc available which are not anywhere else (HDT don't have those versions) so appear to be the first versions of records exclusively available on PONO from a record Company that aren't else where. Reading some 'join the conversation' posts on the site they appear to be no better or the same as...
Interesting Guardian article by John Harris - Link below http://www.theguardian.com/music/2015/jan/07/-sp-vinyls-difficult-comeback BW
There are three or four LPs under my tree but I can't open them until morning. What have you unwrapped in the earlier time zones? Time for me to hit the hay. Merry Christmas.
I am always sceptical when I see another individual resurrecting old analogue vinyl an as usual, the price tag is nothing but eye watering. Are we losing perspective and being conned along the way with the hype in vinyl...
I am in the process of converting a bedroom into a LP library. I have been looking at storage solutions for LP's and have seen online some people recommending Ikea's Expedit/Kallax range of shelving units. They are certainly the most inexpensive...
The quality is not great, but the interview is very illuminating. Klemperer is startlingly direct in his answers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aoozdhcrIK8 ATB from Geroge
A chance photo of George Harrison in Dublin 1950 "The photo was taken by Arthur Fields — a Jewish-Ukranian street photographer who became a Dublin institution; it’s estimated he took over 180,000 images on and around O’Connell Bridge during his career before he retired in 1984. George was snapped in 1950 as he walked through town with his mother and his brother Pete. The Harrisons were close with their Drumcondra cousins — regularly taking the ferry from Merseyside to spend their holidays in...
Which sound better to you? Just bought Ghost Stories by Coldplay on Vinyl and wondering if I should purchase the 24 bit download?
An interview with Colleen Murphy, the founder of Classic Album Sundays, and her vinyl collection. "Colleens’ CAS listening sessions take place in cities all over the world and feature true high-end audiophile systems. It’s a great idea—the perfect meeting point of cool music nerds and lovers of art and technology." http://www.dustandgrooves.com/colleen/ Richard
Is on Jools Hollands Hootennanny(is that too many n's?) tonight
I saw Tull in the eighties in Melbourne on the 'Under Wraps' tour. Still rate it (along with the Moody Blues) as the most disappointing show I've seen. Anderson kept disappearing, presumably for a drink, and Martin Barre seemed happy to let the young man on keyboards carry the show. However, in a fit of lost youth nostalgia I bought tickets to see him in Christchurch, and was wond’ring if anyone had seen him recently and what they thought of the show? His voice didn’t sound like it had aged...
Tune into BBC Radio 2 from 23:00 tonight. Richard Hawley tells how a nation fell in love with the Guitar because of this man.
There was a post a few days ago, giving 20% off Purchases from HDTracks, with a voucher code. This code did not work for me. However, I have just received an email from HDTracks UK, with a voucher code, valid until 1/1/2015. The code worked, and I've just purchased 'Bridge Over Troubled Water' in 192/24, for £18 instead of £22.50 Nice!

Live EP Hi-Def download as 24bit FLAC being offered free by B&W. G
after reading the forum for a while last night I downloaded a copy of Audirvana to my iMac and synced my iTunes library. The rest of my fairly modest, and I'm sure some will say unbalanced system comprises an Arcam IRdac, nac282' napsc, hi-cap, nap150...
Just a quick post to thank Sorren and Stevee_S for introducing me to Hungry Lucy on the What am I Listening Too thread... I now have all of their material and have to say it's the greatest discovery of 2014. Absolutely wonderfull. Thanks!!!...
I am not sure that this may appeal to many on the forum however last week legendary RnB icon D'Angelo surprised the world with the unannounced release of his 3rd album - 15 years to the date after his last effort. By the first day it was number...
Cream in a box – will it be AAA? We can only hope! “The complete studio and live album catalogue of peerless 1960s rock trio Cream is to be gathered together as a boxed set for the first time. Each album will feature exact reproductions of the highly striking original artwork from the releases, and will be pressed on 180 gram heavyweight audiophile vinyl, housed in a rigid slipcase box. Released on November 24, the collection is titled ‘Cream: 1966-1972,’ as it extends beyond the group’s two...
