Happy to say that on my first listen, I am very impressed
Hi guys, thanks for recommending the EJ sacds. I will give them a second thought, as we do not now if, and when they will be available on BDA. And the sacds are still available
I think the Greg Penny/Elton discs will make most any surround enthusiast a BIG Elton fan. I would hate to see anyone miss out on theses recordings as they were a real ear opener for me. I really wish Greg Penny was still involved in surround music.

Where did you find this one LK? Its on Amazon UK for 22.77 GBP (a bit steep). Doesn't seem to have been released in AU yet.
Worth every penny (if they have it in stock) one of the best things I've heard in a while in surround.

I got the last one from a Amazon UK seller for a bit less than that....
Timing is everything
In your not so humble opinion.
keenly:
Look at the Dynamic Range info for the Captain Fantastic SACD's Surround mix.
That mastering has an average DR of 11 and a Max DR of 13, I'd hardly call that "too compressed".
Yes, it is maximised (i.e. Loud) but your argument doesn't hold water.
Don't take my word for it.

the DR average would be even higher were it not for the Bonus of Philadelphia Freedom (which has a poor DR of 8) but if you knew anything about this particular recording in the first place, you'd know that Gus Dudgeon originally recorded it extremely hot, to the point where Greg Penny even commented about how he had to lower the levels of all the multi's for that particular song while he was remixing as it was all way too loud at reference levels.
Do your research and ditch the prejudice.
Get back to me with some facts and I'll start listening to you, until such time I'm going to have to ignore you because you are perpetuating complete myths about these Elton John SACDs on here.
it's unfair, it's untrue and I for one am sick of reading it.

It is not my opinion, you can check audacity to see how squashed it is.
Read my post two posts back about the Dynamic Range on the Captain Fantastic Surround mix and learn something from people who know more about these things than you or I do.
I have the tracks ripped and open in Audacity. The compression is clear to see. The Elton John SACDS have as almost as much compression as modern CDs, that is far too much.
Do you want me t take photos of the tracks in audacity?
