Far too long since I’ve listened to Plaid… I’ll be going through all of their albums this week!

When Ged hits that "man!" vocal live... :astonished:


From my first Rush tour:



And my last:

^ AF Gold Disc with that nice DR of 16!

^ I now have 6 versions of this classic: the original Japanese first press cd, a HDCD remaster, the DCC "gold" disc, a MQA HDCD, a 2021 vinyl remaster, and now the MFSL SACD. IMO the original first press CD sounds good, if kind of flat, the HDCD and MQA versions are unnecessarily loud/in your face (decreased sound stage), the DCC is very good with a "softer" presentation, and it's a toss up for my favorite 2 versions: the MFSL SACD and the 2021 vinyl remaster. The MFSL is clearer while still a bit "warm"; the vinyl has more depth to the stage (as I find common with vinyl), but is less clear. The differences between all of these, save the HDCD and MQA, are subtle; which one you might prefer will depend on your tastes, setup, etc. I do think the new 2024 MFSL SACD will be my go-to for awhile.
