Ah ha! I see you are a fellow colchester resident Darren! I have a few SACDs / DVD Audios on Ebay currently if interested? Genesis, Doobie Brothers, Queen, Dire Straits, Porcupine Tree & Joe Satriani. Can you recommend any Good Rock High Res downloads from HD Tracks for example as you seem to know a bit about these?
