Rush albums sound quality

hAVE TO SIDE WITH BEN...THE 20 BIT REMASTERS SOUND VERY GOOD...EASILY SURPASSING THE mfsl cd OF YEARS AGO...AND IN MY HUMBLE ESTIMATION...SURPASSING ALL BUT THE MOST PRISTINE ANALOG ON A VERY HI-END (2K) RIG WITH TUBE POWER...RUSH RULES...

Would love to know where Maxcast got the information on the SACD releases? All that I am aware of is a DVD in dolby digital 5.1 titled RUSH in Rio which comes out on the 21st of October. There is no mention of the other CDs being released in SACD format. I am getting my information form the bands website Rush.com. Please correct me if I am wrong.

I am not a rush fan, I am a RUSH FREAK and I have to say that Moving pictures is one of my audition cds as well as counterparts. I think the production and sound quality from a rock band is great! Vapour Trails may not be the most polished album I've heard but I think it is a reflection of the energy in the band.It is certainly a great test for any system.If it is in fact true that Rush will be available on SACD the divorce will be finalized cause I'll have to buy a player the day of the release!!

I remeber seeing Rush in '76 I think - they were touring A Farewell to Kings. Thanks for bringing back the memories. Will have to look into getting some Rush.

I agree foxtrot. I am a major Rush fan and have a seious system. Most of the recordings do sound pretty bad. I am pretty happy with the Rio cd. My only complaint is that Alex did not mix himself in at as high a level as I heard him at two Chicago venues. I find Rush music more stisfying when Alex's guitar is at the forefront. And how about O Baterista! The solo was awesome on my subwoofers capable of 20 Hz.
