Budapest Live - Ivan Fischer        (7 of 7 found this review helpful)
  May 8, 2010

I’ve been intending to write a review of this disc for a while now, but time always seems to beat me. Anyway, here I am, and very pleased to be writing my very first review of an SACD here or anywhere else. What sort of a listener am I? I consider that I have a reasonably good pair of nearly 50 year ... more

A few general questions on SA-CD.
April 16, 2013
Well, things don't seem any different in the UK either. I suspect the average person in the UK has heard of BD, but assume it's a medium only for films/video, just the same as with DVD. I've hardly met anyone - whether here in the UK - or in Germany or Hungary, that have even heard of SACD. It gives me a small amount of comfort to know that my ... more

Anyway - to be on-topic, I really must get around to listening to this, my latest SACD, again. Back in the ... more
Yamaha S2500 - don't read SACD
April 12, 2013
Does your player have within the set-up menu a "preference" function for you to set up? My player has this function, whereby I can select that when a DVD-A or Hybrid SACD is loaded into the machine, the player automatically finds the hi-res content of that disc. DVD-As and SACDs are treated separately within the set-up menu of my player, and if I ... more
Yamaha S2500 - don't read SACD
April 11, 2013
I don't have any experience with this player, but I wonder whether something like a software upgrade was ever available for your particular player. This might be worth investigating - perhaps by contacting Yamaha. I mention this, as my present player - an Arcam DV137 - which I bought brand new in December 2006, displayed quite a few odd traits at ... more
