Van Halen: Van Halen | aubullience - August 25, 2024

I can't say it better than Downunderman did. IMO his characterization of it is accurate in all respects. And oh yes, misspent youth!

John Coltrane: Live at the Village Vanguard | Downunderman - August 18, 2024

This version was released in May 2024 and the jacket advises it is mastered by Ryan Smith of Sterling Sound. The Obi. advises it as "Verve Label Group 2024 DSD". It is a ...

Yes: 90125 | Paul - June 12, 2024

Yes: The Yes Album | analogue - June 7, 2024

I was really surprised by the sound quality of this sacd. I don't remember it sounding quite so pristine as what I heard while listening to this new sacd. Its highly crankable ...
