Does Blade Runner really come with a red tray?

GYBR on both SACD and DVD-A(which kicks the SACD's butt-besides I also got it for a normal price on amaz+n US recently) .

Is this the prevailing opinion with GYBR?
I would have thought if both use the same mix the medium shouldn't affect the end result.

I have the SACD, it was very cheap at the time from the record club (whose name escapes me), but I will admit it's a bit bright.

Yes

The only one I don't have is Peachtree Street and the only ones I've opened and played are Captain Fantastic and the SHM SACD of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.

Peachtree Street isn't quite as memorable as the other Surround SACDs from Elton in my view.

Well, since they come from the same mix and master tape, I think it's doubtful that there is a big difference between the two.

That's what I think.
Maybe it comes down to differences in playback equipment.

Traveling Miles - Cassandra Wilson (DVD-Audio).

To save you a little head scratching time with Travelling Miles... the Right Front and Rear are switched in the DVD Audio so you'll need to actively choose the DTS Surround for the intended 5.1 mix. (The flipped mix is kinda fun though!) Great album!

Found a Blade Runner in my gold box for under $20, so I've got it on order.

Thanks for the info Scott I'll be mindful of your advice when I get around to playing it

Highway 61 Revisited - Bob Dylan (Hybrid SACD),
Quatermass - Deluxe Ed'n (CD + DTS DVD).

That's the last Bob Dylan SACD I needed, got the lot now. Slow to the party on those Dylan SACDs but better late than never I guess!?

still got a soft spot for this mellow little number.. its bass-tastic too, your sub will get a good old workout!

The Color Fury - Fury In The Slaughterhouse
(Hybrid MultiChannel SACD).

I attempted to order Pixies Trompe SACD from MusicDirect and they failed to offer either Media Mail or Priority Mail, just something called "Standard Post", for a whopping $6+. Screw 'em! I informed them I will buy it elsewhere. I had just bought Love da capo from them a couple of weeks ago by media mail.

update: They confirmed today that they no longer offer media mail. So unless I'm putting in a $99+ order with free shipping, I will buy elsewhere.

Ginuwine - The Life - SACD (Single Layer)
