Years ago, the sound of the first release of Four Flicks DVD was much better. And El Mocambo 1977 is perfect. Actually, it is easy to figure out the differences in EQ department using audio analysis

QuoteVoodooLounge13 So are you saying that SACD is the same as DSD? Super Audio Compact Disc (SACD) is an optical disc that allows storage and playback of high-resolution digital audio. High-resolution digital audio is stored on SACDs in Direct Stream Digital (DSD) format.

Quote24FPS Sticky Fingers through Flashpoint are available as flat transfers on SHM CDs. Original post was about pure digital product. Namely - about DSD files for playback. Not about physical products. SHM CDs you are talking about will give you usual redbook 16 bit / 44.1 kHz files. Super hard material (SHM) will not provide hi-res playback. It is just a special type of polycarbonate. S

Quoterbk Jumping in late on this one. Is there a valid, historical reason for issuing this show? The Stones don’t get much more generic than they did at this point in their history. Guess it was the simplest way to fulfill their contract obligations.

QuoteUrbanSteel About Licked Live In NYC, in my opinion it sounds good, I'm listening to it now on spotify and it sounds good to me. Sam did a good job here. I would say it average at best.

It is typical 'modern days' product

I was under the impression that the 71-81 studio albums were best in the miniature LP versions that were done in the late 90’s. Is that no longer the case? You mean the Virgin pressings?

That one is based on 2009 Marcussen's remaster. This is the case nothing can help and SHM is pure 'cash in' on audiophiles. With Steel Wheels you can safely stick to old CBS or Virgin CD. Ac

Here is the list of CDs with catalog numbers that were prepared as flat transfer from UK original master tapes. These are arguably the best sounding versions.

Quotemnewman505 Have you guys been following the discussion on the Steve Hoffman forums? Every single new release all they do is complain about compression and reverb.

QuoteStonedRambler Then again, if someone is worried about laser reading errors and jitter, why not stream the high-res files on their Hifi. Then the only component that matters is the DAC.
