I have one such recording on TELARC of Leonard Slatkin conducting the
St Louis Philharmonic Orchestra, but by comparison I have almost blown
my speakers with Erich Kunzell conducting the Cincinatti Pops playing
Science-Fiction movie themes.

The previous follow-up suggests that classical music tends to demand a
wider dynamic range than most music. This would make sense. The wonder-
ful thing about CDs though, is that you can merrily turn these low-
level recordings way up and not hear any *hiss*!! 8)

Can't tell you about the rest of them but there are other Renaissance albums
available on CD.

First, the pre-Prologue version Renaissance has the "first" Renaissance album
and Illusion available on CD on the "Line" label.

Prologue and Ashes are Burning are available as an compilation with some
things missing.  Ashes are Burning is available as a Japanese import. 

Turn of the Cards, Scheherazade,  Live at Carnegie Hall, and Timeline are
unavailable on CD.  Tracks from the first three can be found on the 1001
compilations.

Novella, Song for All Seasons, and Azure d'or are all available on CD on
Japanese import.  Camera, Camera is available domestically but apparently
is becoming hard to find.

Well to put a 1-second buffer in (I like round numbers) you would have
to have enough for the 44KHz/channel * 2 channels * 3 bytes (approx).
The encoding is done in EFM - Eight/Fourteen modulation - the 16 bit
code is split into two 8 bit codes, and then via a table converted to
14 bits for the run-length-limited encoding, and then some other data
is added.   3 bytes is a good round number - but it may take more than
32 after combining the two 14 created codes for the bit stream.

That would take 264,000 bytes of memory.

When the CD was released/shown the year was 1983.  It had been in
development for a couple of years.

So design was started in 1979/1980.

I remember buying 16k chips - 8 chips of 16k x 1 in 1979 to upgrade my
machine at $200 per set.   You'd need 16 set of chips and $3300.  Not
to mention power and space.

In 1983, when the machines first hit the market, chips on a PC were
going for about $90 - $125 per 64K.  So now were are down to $400 worth
of chips, and only 32 chips - moeny is better but we still have a space
an power problem.

Today the size problem is licked, it would probably only add $100 to a
portable.   Don't forget that any manufacturing cost is usually doubled
at wholesale and again at retail - so a $30 additional cost would
reflect a list price of at least $100 more.   Since it was not part of
the orginal design, you won't find many people trying to update it.

And how many would pay an additional amount for non-skip?  Probably not
enought to make it worthwhile to engineer.

I'm responding here because I've been having problems with my mailer
lately and I'm not sure if I'm able to send or receive mail from
everyone.

Anyway, more than 9 people have shown interest in purchasing the cd so
far.  The highest offer I received was $35.  (I will pay for the mailer
& first class postage.)  If anyone offers a better price within the
next few days, the cd goes to that person.
 
As payment for the cd, I expect a check by mail for the agreed amount.
(Payment in person is o.k. too if you live in the San Francisco Bay
Area.)  As soon as I receive and deposit the check, I'll mail the cd.
 
 
Here is the track listing:

	"ANGELS FROM HELL"
------------------------------------------------
Hartford Civic Center, Connecticut, 3/17/89 (not
'87 as I thought earlier) -- good quality
  1	Ride The Lightning		 6:05
  2	Bass Solo			 6:53
	Whiplash
  3	The Thing That Should Not Be	 5:53
  4	Little Wing			 7:58
	Guitar Solo
	Battery
  5	Symptom Of The Universe		10:46
	Run To The Hills
	Helpless
	Last Caress
	Am I Evil?
	Whiplash

L'Amour, Brooklyn, NY, 4/9/83 (Dave Mustaine's
last show) -- o.k. quality, mono
  6	Hit The Lights			 3:57
  7	The Four Horsemen		 4:32
  8	Phantom Lord			 4:39
  9	Jump In The Fire		 3:47
 10	Motorbreath			 2:52
-----------------------------------------------
				total:  57:24

Notes:  I believe tracks 1 & 2 may be from a different concert, unless
they played Whiplash twice.  Also, on track 5, they play only the
beginnings of Symptom Of The Universe & Run To The Hills.

BTW, someone asked me why I'm selling this.  The answer is that I need
the money to pay off an extremely expensive credit card bill, after
buying Christmas presents and paying for tuition at school.  If I decide
to sell anything else, I'll post it in the same places I did before.

Aaargh!  While carrying a stack of CDs down the stairs at work the

replacement jewel cases which were called "Shape 2001", they had a "tray"

Hate to contribute to a long standing religious arguement, but there are
real differences in digital to analog converters.  Aside from
oversampling, there
are some analog side issues:

- stability (especially at high change of signal rates)
- linearity (never easily attained)

I have not seen much discussion of these, in amongst the arguments about
sampling and what the Nyquist limit really means.

Most CD players are fairly high output levels, so the power supply
issues can become quite real - as usual the 1812 Overture is an extreme
example.

As it turns out it's for a DOS machine, I pulled it down and extracted it,
it is a biggie ( over 2 megs, about 16,000 entries). I took the ASCII and

worked - he did not know, he asked the manager who thought it was
magnetic (is it?).  I then asked if it could be re-recorded like a
cassette (obvious advantage over CD if you are looking for such

off.
