Pink Floyd fans, Limited Ed CD Hybrid disc

Yes it sounds good but you mention a turntable in your system. Buy the LP, I have the MoFi pressing and the new pressing blows it away with detail, plus the packaging is unique as well, a true collectors item.

I read an article/interview about the guy who did the new disc re-master. Based on what he said, the new one should sound better. Like the late Beatles and other late 60s stuff, DOTM was supposedly recorded by linking multiple 4-track recorders together and bouncing tracks (layering tracks upon other tracks, meaning some tracks were not first generation at mixdown). This guy apparently got ahold of all of the seperate tracks, synced them together in the computer, and doing so made a new master instead of using the old one which included bounced tracks. I am not sure if this was done on the 2-channel mix or only the surround mix, but it seems like a lot of attention was paid to detail in this version. If the above is true, it *should* sound better than previous versions (assuming he did a good job)

Phild it doesn't particularly sound better on redbook and I haven't seen that description of the mastering but even if it's accurate I don't thinkit's added too much.
DSOM was recorded '72/73.

I bought this cd a while back, it is much better than my old redbook copy. I agree with Kr4, and bought it for the multichannel only, as he said: "it is reason enough". After listening to it in multichannel I could care less which other format sounds better than the other, none could even hope to compete. This type of music is a multichannel blessing which brings new life to an old tired recording that never did much for me unless played in my car.

I still prefer the Mobile Fidelity UDCD517 (made in Japan)disc to the cd layer of the newest release of Dark Side of the Moon.
The mofi is at a lower recording level, but I can compensate for that with the volume control. If things keep going the way they are with the hybrid releases and as my collection of them grows, it is likely I'll buy an sacd player to compare that layer. Not very interested in surround at this point.
