Best "dark side of the moon"


what is the best pressing of the Pink Floyd LP? I have seen some in the 300-500 dollar range... what is the best? and does it compare to the dvd/sacd version of the album?

I would say that it is both, and this very much speaks to your point of reference. If you value very, very quiet surfaces, the MoFi or one of the Japanese pressings, is for you. Ditto dynamic range which is excellent. But some of us are not comfortable with the smiley face EQ that was added, boosted bass and treble. It does sound hi-fi and many will prefer that. In the end, as with most things audio, this is simply a matter of taste, and no one is wrong.........except for me, of course.

Pardon my ignorance, but how does one differentiate between these? I own an MFSL version. How would I identify it?
I bought my MFSL copy new in early 1981. It is the 1981 release on Super Vinyl, pressed in Japan. But the Side A and B read MFSL 1-017-A2 and MFSL 1-017-B2, no dash nos. after the A2/B2. So what does H213+++, H215, etc. mean?

btw- this copy has always sounded fantastic to me. I bought the CD in the 80's and it stinks.
