Wow, first CD in the thread. Not bad. Pretty standard. Don't have a lot of classical CD's to compare it to. Old girlfriend liked to go to the Symphony so I had to learn a little about classical music.

Pomp & Pipes

Killer bass....down to 16 Hz in places.

A truly great classical recording. The HDCD sound quality is absolutely remarkable. Jaw dropping crescendos, and the dynamic range is spetacular.

**reed.hannebaum** · **03-31-07, 12:40 AM**

Another spectacular classical recording. This time SACD. The firing of the cannons will really tax your sound system.

I finally found the time to watch a "Cowboy Junkies" concert I had dvr'd on Rave.

AIX produces some very exceptional recordings, and this 5.1 channel demo DVD is an excellent example. This disc has won several awards, and Intel uses it for the Technology Partners program.

Bob Lind could create profoundly poetic lyrics but only managed write one hit, Elusive Butterfly. What a gem that was!

**jackfish** · **04-16-07, 07:37 PM**

SACD, WOW!

**Fincave** · **04-24-07, 08:08 AM**

Grinderman by Grinderman. Four piece band featuring Nick Cave and three members of the Bad Seeds, this is however not a typical Cave album, pretty loud and raucous.

**drf** · **04-26-07, 06:06 AM**

Dream theatre,

later maybe metallica maybe pantera, definately whitecross

**rcarlton** · **04-26-07, 10:58 PM**

More of the best of the Arthur Lyman Group

**jackfish** · **04-26-07, 11:49 PM**

Oh Yeah!

Ron , Just received Pomp and Pipes all the way from USA. Great disk , extremely high quality. Do you know if one needs a special Decoder , etc for the HDCD's ?. I don't know much about them. Also Do you know if all the disks that are made by RR are similar extreme quality . Kind regards , Alan

HDCD's were and early attempt at audiophile quality CD's. Very few players were made that could decode HDCD. Windows Media Player version 9 and above can play it. The RR discs all appear to be extremely high quality. I only have the one CD. Considering a couple of others. Might pick them up the next time I'm at the Myerson.

**reed.hannebaum** · **05-03-07, 12:15 AM**

Among the few DVD players with HDCD decoders are the well regarded Oppo OPDV971H and the more recent DV-981HD.

**jackfish** · **05-03-07, 08:09 PM**

The Grateful Dead HDCDs sound great on my Oppo DV-970HD. Come to think of it so do SACDs by a variety of artists.

**reed.hannebaum** · **05-03-07, 11:37 PM**

This is another high quality RR recording. The last three songs are recorded twice, both with and without HDCD so you can compare the sound difference.

**Fincave** · **05-07-07, 06:17 AM**

The last two discs I listened to.

Wolfmother: A completely new band for me, recommended by a friend. Listening to this their influences seem to be 70's rock, Sabbath, Zeppelin, Uriah Heep with some White Stripes thrown in for good measure.

Mahler's Symphony No. 2, w/ Pierre Boulez conducting the Berlin Staatskapelle Orchestra. Great, great live DVD, especially in the dts mode. Serious high quality system test material. And the music... what can I say? I still get tears and goosebumps after 35 years.
