I've been a fan of Heart since the debut album. Overall I enjoyed this disc, it creates a live feel in surround. Their set list includes two Led Zepplin covers, and frankly aren't that great, but not my favourite track of theirs, "If Looks Could Kill" Other than that recommended and good value for ... more

Firstly this is superb music and a wonderful performance, which explains why I have this on vinyl and SACD. And it gets 5 stars for this. I have spent some time listening to this SACD, comparing it to the CD layer and the vinyl version, with a friend who is also into audio. We find the CD layer ... more

I heard good things about the Denon A1, they are still changing hands for £600+ in the UK on ebay. Electrocompaniet have just released a "new" Blu-Ray universal, but guess what? It's just a rebadged Oppo in a flashy box! http://www.electrocompaniet.no/products/classic/digital/emp2.html ... more

I bought a turntable a few months ago and started buying vinyl for pop music. I went to a few hi-fi shows and listened to some REALLY hi-end gear.
