BOSTON SACD

SACD does not improve rock-n-roll recordings, IMO. The format somehow removes the punch and drive reqired to propel rock music. DVD-A would have been a better choice, but in the end, does a Hi-Rez format really make a recording like "Boston" better? How many of us listened to "Boston" on highly resolving sound systems? Maybe none? Exactly my point.

I have the SACD and the Sony gold disc. Based on my comparison, the gold disc sounded much better. Third Stage is in MFSL gold and sounds great as well. I think Don't look back may be on a gold disc, but I don't have it.

I was never really impressed with any of the Rock Recordings I purchased on SACD. I think Madhf is on to something. When it comes to rock, I would say it is safe to say the MFSL Gold Discs and Current Remasters will sound better than the SACDs on a good Redbook Setup..

Well thanks for the input. As for rock on SACD I thought the police sycronicity was absolutly amazing. Is it really a rock cd, well thats debateable. I have Dont look back on the gold disc which I thought was good. So now I guess not only am I 27 bucks in the hole for the SACD but now I have to by the remaster just to compare!!!Yikes

Thanks for the posting guys

Maybe they'll release everything again on 8 track and cassette. Sales will undoubtedly approximate their SACD counterparts.
