They are both Quad 4.0, both same track listing, the Blu Ray edition adds two CD's, Blu Ray is $14.69 and Audio Fidelity single disc is $89.99, both current Amazon USA prices. Obviously the 4.0 Audio Fidelity does not sound that much better if at all. To answer your question, I voted 9 on the poll for both releases and my 9 was only for the Blu Ray, I did not vote for the AF release. Good question need to go back and see if I have a preference. But for now the Blu Ray cost wise is a no brainer.

I recently discovered Life in Surround on YT and love it. Has there been a posting on there [or on QQ] covering the top 10 demo surround discs to show off music in surround to the uninitiated? Thanks!

There has been a "10 Awesome DVD-Audios" and "10 Personal Favorites (any format)," but so far, not a Top 10 Demo Discs video. That would be a great video.
I could be very difficult to pick that list though!

Rush Signals
A very favorite surround album.
Especially the experimental, heavily layered back half...

Mike, Yes very difficult to pick, but I can pick 3 surrounds off the top of my head that I have consistently used when showing to a friend, Metallica- Black, Doobie Brothers- Captain And Me, Dire Straits- Brothers In Arms.

I’d put an Elton John and Donald Fagen on that list... not sure I could hold it to ten- bring in the red cups and keg!

How about just go to the Polls; select the top ten (from various genres) and play those?
