reasonably listenable stuff on DVD-A

yep, Britney Spears' new album and Seal IV are available from 15 May on play.com for £10.99 and £12.99 respectively. I know some of the tracks on both albums on mp3 sound fantastic; can't wait to hear the sound quality of all of the tracks on this fantastic format
They are both at 24/96 resolution too- not quite the 24/192 of one of my dvd-a releases, but as I said , should sound very tight and rhythmic

Also noted David Gray's current album is on the DVD-A list too.... these new high bandwidth formats seem promising

 

well...you have some dodgy tastes in music if you ask me...

but check out the Flamin Lips (Who..? I hear you ask...)

less dodgy, more eclectic i'd like to think

 

off topic but noticed the combination of Ipswich and Freeview on your details - I've been periodically checking the freeview website to see if Ipswich has come into coverage but it keeps telling me not yet; presumably you are getting coverage?!

 

yup, but i had to get a new aerial- its a Maxview 48 element jobbie from B&Q @ £28.

I also got a new freeview box in lieu of my old ex-ITV digital one which got me a load more stations too

I work in Bennetts, MLC and we do a 7 day moneyback if you can't get Freeview/if you're not happy with it, but generally speaking if you can get Channel 5, then you'll be able to get all the stations provided, as i said, you get a decent box. The Sony VTXS800 @ £118 we have downstairs is the best at the moment, my Philips @ £90 is not far behind

 

Thanks for the info - I got the Sony from Bennetts this afternoon - works fine; so much for the freeview website...
