I feel that this should be in everyones music collection in some form. Although I'm fairly burned out on it (no pun intended) I still find this album as one of my most listened to. And IMHO the 30th anniversary is the best version available. ---------------- That's my favorite version also (so far). I don't yet have an SACD player but it will probably be the first cd I buy when I get one. It was the first cd I played after hooking up my sub to the scott. Track 1 shook the rafters. I think I have 3 different versions to date. Yeah I'm kind of sick of it but it's a good cd to showoff your system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LP, and SACD. Also used to have the UDII but gave it to a friend. The wife wasn't too happy when she found 4 copies in the house. I had borrowed a friends Mofi LP to compare them. To her it looked like I had two CDs and two LPs. "Why do you need all those? They're all the same. I suppose now you need the 8-Track and the Reel to Reel version." I just laughed and said I'm down to three and that is all I'll ever need (I hope). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see her reaction now. I'd do it if I didn't just get out of the dog house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I need to go back and check the settings on my friend's system. Can't imagine what's wrong with it - the player detected SACD/Surround layer, the amp was set to 6-channel input, but it just seemed to me that everything was coming from the front three. Hard to figure what might have been wrong with the setup, other than it was a relatively cheap ($280) Sony SACD player (go figure, the jackasses who invent the technology build a **** player to attempt to get the masses on board...)

Griffinator Posted June 18, 2003 Share Posted June 18, 2003 Just as a troubleshooting note, the system consisted of: Sony DVP-NS755 SACD/DVD player, interconnected with 3 pair Monster Interlink 400 RCA cables, to a Yamaha HTR-5590 receiver Fronts: JBL S-36 II Rears: JBL S-36 II Center: JBL S-Center Rear effect channel: JBL N-Center Sub: JBL PB-10 All wired with Monster XP speaker cable. I'm quite convinced that this problem started at the front end with the player - no receiver can possibly screw up reproducing a 5.1 channel analog input.
