Best "dark side of the moon"

The 30th anniversary and SACD were done by James Guthrie (Das Boot Studio) on ATC's (same as what Pink Floyd use). The orginal (back in '73?) was done by Alan Parsons (on B&W's?). Rather than spend $500 on a pressing it might be worthwile looking at your gear/room setup. (as Mike points out "as my system matured and improved the relative attraction of different pressings changed. ")

Tvad, Bill, no intent on harshing anyone's mellow! We all know that I can't hear a damn thing anyway and my compromised hearing is exceeded only by my boorish taste.

Viridian, no worries. My Close-N-Play is not the last word in vinyl playback.

Tvad, yes I have been considering moving upmarket to Kenner as well, please contact me off board with your impressions. I really don't want to make the investment and reap only an incremental improvement.

No sweat Marty.

It's very hard to explain why you're mad, even if you're not mad.
