Latest NiN SACD release:Downward Spiral

I had this on vinyl.
It was one of the best sounding recordings I had.
Even better than many of the 'audiophile'pressings I had.
I have never heard the redbook or SACD so I guess Im no help here....

TAS gave it a glowing review recently, I was just curious if the redbook content on the CD had been improved as well

I'd had the exact same thought. What could be better than an even better recording of Hurt : ) Now if only they'd get to pretty hate machine ...
