Best "dark side of the moon"

I am new to vinyl and am just trying to get the best pressing... I want a LP but if the sacd or dvd is better than why spend the money...

I just want the best sounding... least surface noise... LP! is there a debate? or is it cut and dry?

I have several versions on Vinyl up to the 30th aniv pressing and my SACD blows them away as it sounds just as good if not better and has no snap crackle pop. Often Vinyl is best way to go but this time it wasnt so for me.

You could do a search of the forums as this has been asked many times, IMHO:

1) Japanese "Pro-Use" half speed.

2) Mobile Fidelity UHQR half speed

3) German first pressing (almost a tie with the UHQR but with very different strengths and weaknesses).

4) British Harvest First pressing.

Skip all US pressings including the horrible regular Mobile Fidelity, ditto the standard Japanese release.

Oh, and just so that you can tell your arse from your elbow:

Happy hunting.

Until now, I thought my MoFi DSOTM sounded really good.

Then, Viridian harshed my mellow...
