I bought 5 of the remasters. So far, LIB has provided the most exciting music in SACD format. I have about 40 or so SACD's that I listen to on my $20k two channel system. I have heard LIB probably a thousand times in every format. My experience last night approached some kind of out of body thing where I was inside the music and it was inside me. The entire room was saturated with beautiful sound, pulsating, irresistable, three dimesional rock and roll. I listened again immediately, with the same effect. If you settle for the CD layer, you are totally missing the point. The reason this music was transferred to SACD is because the people involved wanted to offer it in the best possible format. They love the music, and they recognize that, even if the SACD layer does not make the reissue much more economically rewarding, it makes the audio art itself more rewarding. If you don't have SACD and you hear LIB in SACD, you will buy one. If you are not moved, take up stamp collecting.
New Stones DSD disc's...Anybody heard em' yet?
Hello,
I picked up Let it Bleed and Beggars Banquet last night. Won't get to hear the SACD layer until later today. I can say the CD layer on Let it Bleed sounded very good indeed. The packaging is wonderful on these two disc's. I had Hot Rocks in my hand but did not buy yet. Anybody heard any of the other ones yet? I will update after hearing the SACD layers on the two I bought. Finally SACD music that is important to the Rock Lovers out there :)
