Close to the Wind - DVD Audio???

[Anna]

Just got a little distracted on Amazon, and blundered into this .

Anyone know what it is?  i.e. what's DVD-Audio when it's at home.

Apart from track 15 (snigger), I've got everything that's on it, but am intrigued about this DVD Audio tag.

I've stopped reading the Hi-Fi press, but it was reckoned that SACD would be the dog's thingies, it's all but abandoned now. The latest is Blue Ray DVD, which will last oh, 36 months maybe?

CD will be around for a bit yet and I still buy vinyl every (well, most) weeks, the sound quality of vinyl is unsurpassed, although it's not very 'user friendly' to coin a 'buzzword' (yuk)

Haven't found one at the Boot Fair for under a ton yet but I'm still looking

I know what you mean, I just missed one of these for a monkey last week, the big one I mean not the pissy little one

I have the above mentioned DVD-audio. All that was done to the recordings was lots of echo added to the rear (surround) speakers. It is almost impossible to make it sound good.
If you have surround sounds and want to experience DVD-audio track down Richards Rumour & Sigh. It was remixed to 5.1 and sounds great
