clippingWhat exactly are the red areas?
Always with the negative waves, MoriartyWaveforms don't tell the whole story, but these are pretty depressing.
The waveforms don't tell the full story. Despite being dynamic, I think this remaster doesn't sound very good. It's not even close to the excellent HDAD release.I haven't purchased this title as of yet, but for reference here is a screen shot of Games People Play and Time from the 192/24 Stereo HDAD. The excellent dynamic range is readily apparent from the waveforms. It would be interesting to see the waveforms for the 5.1 of these songs on the new release.

As a background, I own all the digital releases that are available of this album, and I know them well. My ranking would be HDAD, then old Arista CD, then 2015 remaster, this is the last one.
Yeah, I was waiting for it to show up on Amazon, but that's a reasonable price so I place a preorder there as well.Well I finally placed my order with Cherry for the BD only, I was afaid it might sell out.
How could I say no for only $20.53 US shipped?
Now all I have to do is wait.
I‘d like to see the waveforms without the red overlays.Waveforms don't tell the whole story, but these are pretty depressing.

So "this remaster" is the new hi-res version? Because I've seen it said that the new CD sounds like the 2015 version.this remaster doesn't sound very good. It's not even close to the excellent HDAD release.
I even prefer the 2015 CD remaster to this one, which is just mid centric, thin. I'm disappointed with this remaster.
CD1 in the box set and the Blu-ray hi-res remaster are different.So "this remaster" is the new hi-res version? Because I've seen it said that the new CD sounds like the 2015 version.
So why do some people say they prefer the 2015 if this new one is the same? And why are they advertising it as a new 2023 remaster?CD1 in the box set and the Blu-ray hi-res remaster are different.
CD1 is a clone of the 2015 CD (and remaster)
Read my post. The Blu ray has a new remaster.So why do some people say they prefer the 2015 if this new one is the same? And why are they advertising it as a new 2023 remaster?
Gotcha. I seem to remember reading when this set was announced that CD1 featured a new “2023 remaster” but now I’m just seeing “Turn of a Friendly Card Remastered”.Read my post. The Blu ray has a new remaster.
The hi-res stereo remaster on the blu-ray does not seem compressed, and it's definitely not limited. I don't like the tonality of this remaster. In my view, it is too bright and lacks in bass.Gotcha. I seem to remember reading when this set was announced that CD1 featured a new “2023 remaster” but now I’m just seeing “Turn of a Friendly Card Remastered”.
So even the hi-res stereo mix on the Blu-ray here is compressed and thin? Compared to the HDAD, correct?
Alright!!The set arrived yesterday. Disappointed on its contents and will probably sell once the stand alone releases. The jacket holding the discs is really flimsy and the Blu-ray was dislodged and sitting upside down in it, along CD2.
Just gave it a first listen with my girlfriend on moderate to high volume. Neither of us noticed anything too annoyingly bright but I would not even consider myself an audiophile by any means. I like to know I’m getting good sound (SACD, hi-res lossless on Blu-ray) but I still enjoy listening to Spotify over Bluetooth headphones which is the main way I’ve been listening to this album up to this point. My only other copy being a really beat up original vinyl I got for 1 dollar.
I would have to say this is the best I’ve heard this album sound. Had little to no issue with the bass and the rears were used tastefully. Loved hearing David Paton’s bass playing, lots of neat slides and use of the higher register.
Nothing Left to Lose, my favourite song on the album gave me goosebumps. My girlfriend, who has loved this album longer than I have, said she had goosebumps almost the entire time.
If you’re a fan of the album I think you’ll be satisfied, in my opinion of course!
