Fearless - no - that's a Kane album in 5.1:

Not bad too!!! Don't take my word for it - ask Fredblue.....

The Pretenders is stereo...but I think you will like it I love that Nat King Cole set...sounds like vinyl without the pops and crackles..

Yeah, wrong forum for the Pretenders disc, but I'll mention instead:

Yes - Relayer (DVD-A). Another fine job from Mr. Wilson. For whatever reason though, I had a bitch of a time getting my Marantz player to accept it. After inserting it for about the 20th time, it finally took.

Ann Mortifee - Into the Heart of the Sangoma

Whites Off Earth Now!! - Cowboy Junkies (Hybrid MultiCh SACD).

I've always wondered why MoFi went with the grey cover rather than original which used the same picture but in bright colour

It may be an artistic decision. Who knows ?

Maybe their printer was all out of coloured ink.. :ugham:

I love that album Fred, had it for a good while so I'm glad to see you putting an effort in to keep up

There is a picture of it in color inside the package.

Well, maybe that's the trick to these new dvd-audio disks. I'll have to give that a try.

This one is sounding really good! It is placing very high on my list for one of the best sounding surround purchases of the year. Just incredible stuff...so happy I didn't pass on this one.

I feel the same way. I sat back during the first listen and felt like I was listening to an E. Scheiner mix. After all this time, this album's definitely been given a whole new life. Can't wait for the second album, and the Guess Who disc.

I had a similar experience with the XTC Nonsuch DVD-A, though not as bad.

So did I but I didn't try loading 20 times so sold it for a loss and purchased the Blu-ray.
I'd guess there's some sort of heavy copy protection on the newer dvd-audio disks that players need to be modified for to play (firmware update). So if your player no longer gets firmware updates there are problems.

Yeah, I haven't updated mine since I bought it 6 years ago - long overdue.

I was thinking about getting this one. How is the surround mix?

I don't remember much about the mix but I do remember the SQ as being top notch for a live show...

Thanks! I saw this one a while back and hesitated. Oh well...
