Edwood Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 I've really been getting into Multichannel SACD's and DVD-A's lately. Too bad they're all pretty much dead formats. And many of my favorites are out of print, and going for insane prices on fleaBay and such. Captain Hindsight says, you should've bought them when they were first out to begin with! OK my job is done here, goodbye!!! <whoosh> <sigh> -Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 They're not completely dead -- especially if you're into good old jazz reissues and some classical (SACD) and/or King Crimson and/or Porcupine Tree and related (DVD-A). But yeah, I'm kicking myself for not getting the complete Peter Gabriel collection when they were new. The ones I'm missing are the expensive ones.

blessingx Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 I always thought if I had a new time machine I'd go back and build a more comfortable seat in my current time machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepak Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 i could think of better uses for a time machine. like keeping my ice cream cone from melting. stupid sun. Even better finish ice cream, go back in time and...enjoy again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Monkey Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 Can't one of our DIY geniuses just whip up a time machine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grahame Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 (edited) How else do you think Frank Cooter has so much time to make his creations? Edited June 10, 2011 by Grahame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeymad Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 I always wondered about that... and it looks like a killer rig that Frank would make. How else do you think Frank Cooter has so much time to make his creations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepak Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 perhaps a future version of the version of me that goes back in time to steal the ice cream from myself could convince us two to be nice, and then me, myself and i could share the ice cream. That solves the weight "paradox" as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edwood Posted June 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 Just got a German import of the Semyon Bychkov conducted Multichannel SACD of Verdi - Requiem. Was pretty much a blind buy based on a review on SA-CD.net. http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B001B223T2/?tag=sacdinfocom08-21 Took a about 2 weeks to get it from Amazon.co.uk. But so worth it. It's up there with my favorite 1968 recording with the Vienna Philharmonic and Opera. Going to give the Multichannel a go, so far just gave the redbook layer a spin. -Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, I'm kicking myself for not getting the complete Peter Gabriel collection when they were new. The ones I'm missing are the expensive ones. I'm mixed on this. I bought a DVP-S9000ES in 2001 or so. I also grabbed quite a few SACDs on the way. Now, post format-wars, I have enough to consider just getting a high-zoot universal player so I don't have to part with some of the titles. I don't know where that leaves me. I'd almost like to just go back to having just a sweet CD player and a turntable. Also, for buying new and used music, if you want to avoid flea-bay, you might wander out to gemm.com. I've not used them but heard good things about it. http://gemm.com/ Edited June 13, 2011 by bhjazz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Gemm -- being a bit of a flea-market -- is a mixed bag. Yes, there are some very good sellers there, but there are also some absolute criminals...well, alright, technically, they're not criminals, because they're not forcing you to buy their wares, but the prices strike me as...well, a bit much. My point: know what you're doing when you go in there. And yes: vinyl is a good alternative, if you don't have access to a time machine, or infinite resources.

NightWoundsTime Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Ed, I've got the set of Beethoven Symphonies on DVD-A, Berlin Philharmonic w/Claudio Abbado. Looks like it's still in print but I've had them for years and never listened to them, so if you want them cheap just make an offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
