I am entering the world of CD...
I am about to ad an SAE D-102 player to my SAE system.
I have a couple of questions...
- I have been surprised about how little (myself included) folks
know about "buying" Compact Discs...and how hard it seems to be
(for me anyway) to get good information...literature of any kind.
I have already heard about the vast differences between CDs, some
are indexed, stay away from certain brands...etc...
So, is there any source of information that is reliable to aid
in making CD purhcases?
- Does anyone know if Peter Framton's double live album is available
on CD - and is it a quality CD?
- Are there any "TDK" type calibration/check-out disks available
to the consumer...or is there a "top rated" CD that will "test
the limits" of my player?
Thanks for any response...

Are you asking about Frampton Comes Alive?
Yes, it's on CD. And the recording is very good, at least as far
as my ears can tell.

The Frampton live disc is available, but only on single disc with
some tracks left out. I have noticed that there is some distortion
on certain cuts, but have not compared it with an LP yet. Friends
listening to the disc thought I was loosing a speaker when the guitar
distortion showed up. If it is also in the LP version, it is not
as noticable. Still a pretty good disc.

Digital Audio and Compact Disc Magazine is one source of information
about discs. There are many others. The Green Catalog might
be helpful. Read through this notes file too.
