Default Great *sounding* CD recommendation?

I've heard those demonstrated up at Meyer-Emco. They are formats for
anal-retentive audiophiles who obsess over every note. And if it's an old
recording, you get a lot of tape-hiss to go along with it.

The new blue-ray technology that will be coming out in a couple of years
will put both of those formats to shame.

Besides, you have to buy two ****ing players in order to cover everything.
Do you have the time, money and space for that? And what happens when one
format wins out over the other? You'll be stuck with the equivalent of an
old laserdisc or DAT player.

I suggest holding off until you know for certain what format will win out in
the marketplace and will be around for awhile.


In the meantime get yourself an inexpensive universal player and check
out some of the 5.1 recordings. The Dark Side of the Moon is excellent
in surround sound. My player is a Pioneer DV-563A, about $120 on sale.
It plays almost everything.
