People are discussing this in a general purpose Mobile Fidelity thread but it seems like it would be nice to have a specific thread for opinions and comparisons. Don't know if anyone actually has a copy yet but as soon as you do, I know I would love to hear your thoughts! If there is already a thread and I missed it, I am sure it will be taken care of.
The SACD is good but I ordered the vinyl release too. Should be in my hands and on my turntable by the end of the week.
My copy is arriving tomorrow. I'll post my thoughts afterwards. I also have a 1st press UK and the 2010 pressing, which I believe is all analog.
Ok, you guys sold me. I've yet to hear a great sounding version of this album. I just put an order into Music Direct for the vinyl issue. I'm not holding my breathe on this, though. I have the MoFi CD and it's not that great. Maybe they figure something out since then. But, I would like to finally have a decent sounding copy of this album.
Every pressing I've ever picked up doesn't sound very good. Here's to hoping this album finally has decent SQ.
Also scheduled to get mine tomorrow. hoping for the best. Thanks for creating a new link, anxious to see reviews!
Again, it's a very murky sounding album. My German is the best I have heard thus far, and that includes a UK Polydor. But we're talking maybe a 6.5/10.
I have a copy on the way. I read the review on the other thread and it wasn't good. Hopefully I'll have better experience than he did.
I've found that certain MFSL's-particular vinyl versions-end up enhancing the aural shortcomings rather than reduce them.
Yeah, just found it. That's what I was afraid of. The sound of even a good pressing is murky, so I wasn't sure what MoFi could do with it. The question is why did they do it?
