You just select the audio track required from the menu on screen or my Sony Blu Ray player has an Audio button on the remote control that enables you to switch between them. I have a number of the Steven Wilson Yes remixes which contain multiple versions of the album, remix, instrumental mix...

It was a faff for me because when I turned my tv off it switched the Blu Ray off too! Then I changed the HDMI settings on my Blu Ray player and rectified the problem. As for the sound I have a number of Steven Wilson's albums on Blu Ray and the 24 bit stereo mix sounds amazing - better than cd...

Kansas (ok they are named after a US state!)

Of course they do.

I need something to break before I can buy anything else :)

Rest In Peace Ozzy Osbourne, so sad just a couple of weeks after the farewell show. I discovered Black Sabbath in 1980 when Dio joined for the Heaven and Hell and Mob Rules albums - I saw them live twice. Then a guy at work gave me a copy of Paranoid and I got Ozzy's Talk Of The Devil live album...

This was our Ferguson model, probably got it in 1975. Which reminds me that its 50 years ago this summer that I bought my first proper LP; Elton John's Greatest Hits - still have it!

I wouldn't call it hi fi but when music centres appeared in the 70's they were a slight step up from the previous radiograms. My family had a Ferguson one, my cousins had a Sanyo one. Then in about 1980 I saw an advert for an Akai rack system that was made up of separates with amp, tuner...

Back in the early 70's my sister bought my Dad Holst's Planet Suite and my Dad bought my Mum The Carpenters Singles Collection LP's. Since they passed away I now have them both and have got them on cd too. They mean a lot to me.

Thanks for the advice although its the homemade tapes that are most affected speed wise (not surprisingly) and pre recorded tapes that sound the best which makes sense.

Good luck with the deck. I bought an 80's deck that has been fully serviced and works fine. My problem is though that most of my tapes have not aged well, a couple play fine but the majority sound very quiet, sound garbled or sound as though they are running too slow. Looking on E Bay everyone...

CD. No contest for sound quality.

It wouldn't surprise me if they were identical inside the outer case!

As someone who has three current cd players I would say the Marantz CD6007 and Denon DCD900NE sound identical, while the Cambridge Audio AXC35 sounds nearly as good but not quite. Opinions will vary of course. I also have a 25 year old NAD cd player which when put through the Cambridge Audio...

Thanks for that clarification guys 👍
