Could someone refresh my memory as far as the recommended rating system? I'm finally ready to start offering my opinion on the disorganized pile of sound I've acquired. I believe it consists of Mix, Fidelity and Content but can't specifically recall. I've waited awhile in order to learn from the experience of my more knowledgeable peers!

I don't think we have a rating system per se. But we always welcome your comments on Stereo SACDs and DSD Downloads added to your collection here. So comment away!

I was hoping you had the AF version. I wouldn't mind paying more for this title IF there is improvement over that SACD.

The problem is, who is going to buy both just to find out? Someone on sa-cd seemed to hint at the bass being a bit lite in the AF. The bass is quite solid on this one... whether it's better or not I have no idea.

I bought the Audio Fidelity SACD of Peter, Paul & Mary. Turned out very well. Didn't see a need to follow-up with the Top Music version.
 
Since it's unlikely that a MC version will be released I might as well put that one on the list, great song list.

Thanks!

Very true. Although you can get some synthesized Surround from the SACD via the Surround Master. I haven't tried the SM on that SACD but the detail on it would yield some good synth Quad.

Actually I did that on the Styx Paradise Theater SACD. I bought the SHM version and the AF version. I wanted to see if the SHM SACD was any better as they were both from the same source. I really couldn't hear any difference. The only time I would buy a SHM version is if it was the only version available or it was from a better source.

I almost did that with Brothers In Arms but cancelled it due to shortage of funds. I went with the platinum SHM and it sounds so good I don't think I'd hear any difference.

I have the platinum SHM of Paradise Theater also. It sounds way better than the AF SACD.

The SHM-SACD of Brother In Arms sounds much better than the Stereo SACD and CD Stereo tracks on the Multichannel SACD edition. Sometimes it's good to own both! :)
