Hallo, has anyone experience with hi res file in comparison to CD Quality?If yes, please let us know it and the system you have used, the music and the quality of the hi res files. Is it the price worth?

I ordered the Smashing Pumpkins, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness collectors box from Popmarket in March, it has taken 2 months for it to arrive and when it did there was an additional cost of £21.73 customs and handling charge, I am not best pleased and will be taking this up with popmarket asap. Has anybody else been stung and how much did you have to pay? I feel the amount I had to pay was extortionate. Grrr.

This is coming: 

EMI has been taken over by Universal [DG] in an ironic twist that sees the pre-1914 branch of HMV now owning the parent company. When EMI fell into a financial abyss a few years ago [betting on the fickle world of pop music recordings, and choosing dubious artistic material], I really hoped that DG would rescue the highly important classical music archive that EMI recorded, and it seems that the new direction is all to the good.   For thirty years I have waited for a complete EMI...

I was just wondering which recording of this most excellent opus people on here are listening to. I am presently enjoying the Repin, but there are many others. I also like the Krebbers a lot. So what are you listening to? BB

I love a great review. A review that really sums up an album briefly is a particular treat. Does not have to be a positive review either (there is an admittedly long but laceratingly bad review of The Pigeon Detectives on the Guardian music...

Hi Guys, This is great news that has just been announced, I have been to a few Billy Joel gigs over the years and they are always amazing shows as he has got to be one of the best singer/songwriters ever with such an amazing back catalogue of fantastic songs. These tickets will be like gold dust but I'm going to try for Hammersmith, that will be an amazing show. The Dates are - 29th October 2013 - Manchester Arena 5th November 2013 - Hammersmith Apollo 8th November 2013 - Birmingham NEC...

I think most of us will be familiar with the problem. Too much music to even be able to listen to it....So many new things coming out, the big boxes with all the sonatas from....and all the other attractions. I have arrived at the point at which I...

I'm spending a week in Rome and I want to explore local vinyl shops. Can you share some popular and easy-access locations?

All Just had the above album delivered on Vinyl.  Has anybody else purchased it if so how good is it? Won't get to play mine for a day or two HiFiKid

Hi Guys, Not too sure if there are any fellow Bruce Springsteen fans on here but I thought I'd mention the new Springsteen & I Movie which looks like a really interesting concept, compiled by clips fans have sent in explaining why they love Bruce so much mixed with classic Bruce clips and directed by Ridley Scott associates. Tickets go on sale June 4th with showings beginning July 22nd. It may be a bit of a Bruce love in but for fans like myself it should be...

Very sad news, passed away at age 74.

Shopping for s/h vinyl in Seattle I came across a generic white LP sleeve with the the title "Paul Simon Songbook" rubber stamped on the front. The label is powder blue with black lettering "Silver Platter Records" at the top.   From the web...

I'm in Europe at the moment on business and took the opportunity to pick up a copy of the stereo vinyl box. Have gone through the contents and am salivating at the thought of getting home and doing some serious listening. The book that is included in...

Just trailed on BBC Radio Four, a bootleg tape will be played for the first time in forty years. The tape was found in a box under someone's bed, and will be played on "a Studer". The programme is Saturday Live and starts at 9am. Web...

I have had recently some amazing experiences with mastering/recording quality. What's your best example of an album as compared to the normal version ? As an example I am realy impressed by the Analogue Productions version of "we get request from...

Mine was 'Lady Writer' played to me through a Rega Planar 3, Nad 3020 and Kef Coda's and I thought....wow! Never heard or 'seen' (imaging wasn't something I had ever experienced before) anything like that before. The rest is very expensive...
