Dengue Fever

No, not the disease, the band. Jon Iverson introduced me to them on Friday and I can't stop listening to <I>Escape From Dragon House</I>. What do they sound like? Sort of Asian/African fusion, mixed with a heavy dose of Farfisa irony, and a splash of spaghetti-Western surrealism. In other words, probably the next Quentin Tarantino soundtrack.

If you ran your own audiophile reissue label, and could re-master and re-release anything that hasn't already been given the audiophile treatment, what would be at the top of your list?

If you ran your own audiophile reissue label, and could re-master and re-release anything that hasn't already been given the audiophile treatment by others such as Mobile Fidelity, etc, what would be at the top of your list?

I think John Marks has his dollars wrong. An ambitions audio system is around $10K, which is about what I have in mine. I know that many audiophiles spend more, after all, I've read about $60K amplifiers in Stereophile. But tell any non-audiophole even a couple K and they think your nuts. So if you were taking about a music teacher, what you really need todo is give them a system for $2K that will rock their world.

I don't know about you, but as an audiophile who prefers Redbook CDs as my only front-end source of music recordings, I'm outraged and disgusted by the recently increasing number of digital music recordings which are being released only in a DualDisc, combination CD/DVD package.
