Listening to Now In SACD Stereo (or Mono)

[GOS]

Gene, remastered by Audio Fidelity and the sonics and content, as you infer, are extraordinary!

I think the thing that stands out for me (especially for songs from this era) is the pronounced warmth and strong bass. Love it.

If you're a Zombie's fan, this is an absolute MUST purchase. No idea if it's available on the market for a fair price......
Fidelity is just super.

Eagles - Desperado

The title track and Tequila Sunrise are all I knew from this album.
There are other great songs here, Certain Kind of Fool stands out and Outlaw Man is an absolute killer, can’t believe I’d never heard it before.
Some aren’t happy with the sound of this SACD, and it does suffer in comparison to the first album. But taken on its own it’s OK.

I agree totally. Was very pleased with this purchase and it quickly became one of my favorites. I thought, “How did I miss this all these years?” I love the ending too.

Extremely crankable, dynamic, and with great DRs!

Local Hero -Mark Knopfler MFSL SACD 2022

*This one sounds great also; and it isn't just some off hand Movie Soundtrack. It really encompasses an atmospheric New Age sound with sort of a Dire Straits Jazz super group on songs like "Boomtown", "Smooching" & "Going Home: Theme Of The Local Hero"
including musicians like:
- Michael Brecker - Sax
- Steve Jordan - Drums
- Mike Mainieri - Vibraphone
- Tony Levin - Bass
- Alan Clark - Keyboards
- Hal Lindes - Guitar
... and other Dire Straits musicians

I was lucky enough to catch Dire Straits in a show in the mid '80's and they closed the show with "Going Home: Theme Of The Local Hero"; just a magical evening!
