Listening to Now In SACD Stereo (or Mono)

[Blackwood]

Namely,

I may be one of the few who likes The Long Run the best out of all their albums, so this has felt like a long wait. I’ll probably go through it again when the Van Halen albums come out and I have to wait about a year before they get to 1984. (I’m assuming MoFi will do a similar two-at-a-time release schedule starting with VH1 and VH2.)

I'll pass on HOTEL CALIFORNIA AS I HAVE BOTH THE FANTASTIC MLP DVD~A 5.1 release as well as the Warner Japanese 5.1 SACD Import!

I bet that the MoFi will sound better. To my ears anyway. Not your 4 ears.

HA!

HA!

Hopefully, I don’t eat my words. I’m going by experience with albums that I have multiples of, such as, Eye In The Sky.

Perp, I will concur that MOST of those mixed in surround DVD~Vs which come out in LOSSY DTS/DD 5.1 coupled with the HIGH RESOLUTION 96/24 stereo remaster always give the NOD to the higher res stereo version......but since Hotel California is MLP DVD~A 5.1/96/24 and the Japanese SACD are BOTH hi res, you just may have to eat your words.

[4-earredwonder]

Maybe we need to start a NEW THREAD akin to What is the BEST version of AJA .......So what IS the BEST version of Hotel Cali???????

There are probably 100's of versions out there in every imaginable configuration!

And I'm positive the 'Vinyl Junkies' will have a say, as well!

Now that I have all the AP Blue Note SACDs, and as many Impulse and Verve that I can find at a reasonable price, I’m dipping into the Prestige monos.
Everyone so far has been beautiful including this one.
Looks like I’ve fallen into another expensive rabbit hole.

Starting off the day with a classic from Jeff Beck. Hoping that one day Beck-Ola will get the same MoFi treatment.

THE WES MONTGOMERY TRIO [Riverside Records/Stereo SACD] A swingin' session with Wes on Guitar, Melvin Rhyne, Organ and Paul Parker Drums. Produced by Orrin Keepnews. Gorgeous sonics!

Don’t know what to keep saying about this series of mono SACDs.
Excellent. Again.
