  1. I bought quite a few titles both Mofi, XRCD and HDCD (before Microsoft screwed up the format) about 14 or 15 years ago before prices went up due to "fiber audiophile".

    Now that I think about it and see the prices of some of these discontinued CDs, I think that I should have bought some more due to their quality and the love with which they are published.

     

    Edit: two of my favourites XRCD: 

    1812 Overture Tchaikovsky xrcd 24 and The Planets Host (by way I have about 8 version of the Planets if someone has interest I can do a comparative).

  2. Sorry, I'm doing changes to my toy room and I haven't been able to connect.

    I have some Casiopea cds but I like more things by Fumio Nanri, Tsuyoshi Yamamoto, Isao Suzuki, Toru "Tiger" Okoshi... closer to "classical" Jazz, bebop, etc... one of my latest discoveries was Takashi Matsunaga Trio, great pianist IHO.

    Another interesting thing is that their recordings sound very well make. I have several Japanese editions on XRCD (does anyone remember this?), Mofi, remasters, etc...

  3. I'm trying to "control" a Samyang 800mm F8 + X2 teleconverter. This thing is a nightmare.

    I thought it would be easier to get better results but for the moment this is what I am getting. If you have a recommendation, as always it is welcome.

    IMHO the "problem" is not the number of parties. The problem is that their delegates in the chambers and government work for their own agendas and lobbies, for their personal benefit, not for the people that put them there and is paying their wages and gifted lives. They're incapable of working together for a general common good, finding compromises and agreements to make things to work and to improve. They just don't care and what's worse, they play the game of making people enemies of each other by pulling emotional strings based on lies, stupidity, beliefs and whatever can be used to not let us think. 

    Good point (especially applicable to Spain... unfortunately) 😞 

    Has anyone read this? It is by a certain Maquiavelo written back in the 16th century....
