Close To The Edge [Hi-Res CD (MQA x UHQCD)] [Limited Release]Yesreally great
I listened to this edition many times. The decoder in my OPPO UDP 205 shows sigificant improvements MQA is capable of.You hear details you never heared before, but it's not hard sounding, the background is really black, single instruments are clear without hiss. This edition creates the hope for more YES-gems in this quality: the combination of MQA-CD and UHQCD. I dream of Tales from Topographic Oceans, Relayer, Going for The One....

A Night At The Opera [Hi-Res CD (MQA x UHQCD)] [Limited Release]QueenGreat impressions
I compare this version to the a)SHM-SACD(UIGY-9513)as well as b)Platinum-SHM-CD (UICY-40006/UICY-75767). All versions use the 2011 remaster. So I think it's possible to compare these. As these are high quality discs, we're talking about high level differences. The Platinum -SHM (b) is a great step up from the previous issues, regarding the resolution and overall sound quality. When it comes to separation and space the SHM-SACD (a) is another story, obviously. The MQA-CD is to my ears [and played back with the possibility to decode the MQA (as the OPPO UDP-205)] the top of the list in resolution, separation and space as well as "black" background. Let's hope for an growing MQA-CD catalogue-- may be with some YES - gems??

Acoustic Revive Chloroprene Insulator CP-4Acoustic Revive Insulator CP-4
Hi, I purchased these insulators in order to seperate the feet of my Cambridge Audio 851w power amplifiers from the glass rack, wich is not the optimum material for audio components. The components feet themselves are of high quality, but I hoped for a further improvement. My first impression is a clearer sound with improved spatial information. As they are quite new it's just the first impression. I think, the price is okay for these insulators. I keep listening.
