...speaking of Taiyo Yuden CD's, when the Beatles Remaster Reissues were
released a couple of years ago in Japan (the first 24-Bit Beatles remasters
in which were invested over 200 hours of remastering and very specific
turntables and phono carts were used in "lifting" the virgin vinyl
source)... when these remasters were released the discs were specifically
copied onto Taiyo Yuden... I wasn't aware of these HQ discs until I looked
into the remastered series...matter of fact there's one auction on Ebay
offering 100 of them for about $26 silver bottom and all...
