SQ of "Rock of Ages" on CD


Has anyone compared the SQ of various versions of this classic on CD?

On my system, the redbook layer of MoFi's hybrid SACD is not an enjoyable listen. 

Thanks!

My pleasure.  I am looking forward in reading your impressions and thoughts on The Academy of Music version. I would be interested in learning more about the MoFi disc? Which tape or source used? How extensive DsD used?

 

Sidebar: I am enjoying the 50th anniversary edition of “Cahoots” CD. This is the standard edition, not the Super Deluxe package. Otherwise, I own 1st pressing CDs.

The 50th Anniversary Edition of Stage Fright sounded great to me on Qobuz.  A clear improvement, IMHO.

The hybrid SACD just says "Original Master Recording".

Hasn't MoFi admitted to making such claims falsely in the past?

Are R. Robertson's assertions reliable?  I don't know.  

But given the SQ (or lack thereof) of the MoFi and my fondness for the music, I'm willing to pay the modest cost of the 2CD set to see whether it does in fact sound better.
