SQ of "Rock of Ages" on CD

Yeah-- I dunno about about SACD SQ (never owned an SACD player) but I've found the Redbook SQ of MoFi hybrids to be very inconsistent. Some are quite good, others just meh-- most definitely not worth the money. 

As far as the Band album is concerned, I thought I'd have to buy the out of print box but there's a 2CD set that's still available with the same tunes as the Deluxe version. Might as well try it.

Have you heard the Academy of Music mix?

Usually only buy vinyl, so no. There are a couple vinyl remasters by both Capital and MoFi, but haven’t given much consideration to purchasing either.

stick with the 1st CD pressing as it is a flat transfer and closest to original Vinyl.

Most of these Classic albums do not fare well with remastering/remixing. 
 

Happy Listening!

Thanks for your input.

I haven't found that original mixes are uniformly more pleasing to my ears; it really depends on the record in question. 

And given R. Robertson"s opinion, I'm curious to hear the Academy of Music version.  I'll report back once I've heard it.
