20 Hz is expensive-"but it only hurts for a little while!"

Must remember to get some blu-tac tomorrow for all my picture frames.

You can order the CD on Amazon or get it off hdtracks.com. I own Psalms both on CD and computer audio. I completely concur with Gary about Psalms. However, this Wilson CD surpasses even Psalms just in terms of an un-hyped super organ recording that has a 20 hz barely audible note almost like turntable rumble that sounds like it belongs. The music is beautiful and the recording is fabulous. The organ is spread panoramically from one side of the room to the other with excellent depth. If you own a sub that will truly do 20 Hz this is a must have album. I have honestly never heard anything as good as Music for Christmas.

Is there a link to the CD on Amazon because for some reason I can only see mp3 downloads here?

I didn't notice it was only mp3. Unfortunately no CD apparently is available. But it is available at hdtracks.com 192/24 and as mentioned the sound is fabulous. Its also a lot of music, I'd say about an hours worth, so it's worth the $24.95 price from a length standpoint. It's a live performance.

Thanks Charles, unfortunately at the moment my system only is CD and Vinyl. I must get myself up-to-date with HD downloads soon. Any recommendations from members for a beginners cost effective way of playing back HD download from say a memory stick. Suggestions appreciated. My computer (in another room) is pretty well up to date and fast.

Unfortunately, I am not the one to ask. I use a Mac MCD 1100 with JRivers Media center. I download to my dedicated laptop from hdtracks.com and use carbonite for backup. I suspect as good a sound as mine is available at a much more reasonable price. Can anyone make a suggestion?
