Cai, you were right, I A/B'd the CD and DVD-A, and it is faster. I would have gone on my merry way in blissful ignorance without ever knowing. As for the mixes being discrete, I'll amend that by saying that they pretty distinct surround mixes, the live one has more of a live concert surround, although alot going on in the rears, the studio one has kind of a front heavy mix that is punctuated by the rears kicking in and out, sort of a primitive version of how the Doors L.A. Woman is mixed. Silverline is bogus, especially Sanctuary. I no longer recommend these discs to anyone. I am not buying any more Silverline discs (unless it's another C.O.C. disc, or Monster Magnet, Stabbing Westward, Queens of the Stoneage, I wouldn't be able to resist). I am a huge C.O.C. fan, and I think DVD-A is a great format, the two together was impossible for me to pass up. Even though I know these discs are no good, I still end up listening to them a lot and enjoying them, they do sound better than the cd's to my ear. I think the comment that C.O.C. sounded like chipmonks is a little harsh, after all these are some of my favorite rock heros we're talking about here, the disc is collectable as an oddity if nothing else. Besides, before I got the strobe fixed on my HK ST7, I was runng the turntable too fast without knowing it, I mean the guitarists sound so intense at a higher speed, especially Hendrix.
