300 Club - QQ All-Star
OK, who am I to change a well established naming... Still, If I was king I would change it ;-))
Every little once in a while I come back to this SACD and ponder dropping $40+ on it. I'm more tempted today than previously but I have a few questions for those who own it (and perhaps earlier incarnations).
It's the best sounding version of the concert I've heard. The sound quality easily tops the earlier K2HD CD and HK SACD versions.

? If your system is 5.1, and the source is 3.0, you *must* set your system to output all channels independently, to get accurate playback. Dolby PLII will ignore the 3.0 center channel info and create its own from the front L/R channels.

Thanks for these tips. I just ordered the disc and have 4-10 days to figure it out. I take it that the Stereo setting won't work. Looking at my Pioneer receiver's settings there are a few options that might do (FS Surround Focus and FS Surround Wide). Somehow I doubt it's that simple! I believe I have a re channel disc to experiment with (Fiedler Rhapsody in Blue Living Stereo).
Thanks for the link. Your longer post above was very helpful. I've spent well above my budget this month, but thankfully it won't break the bank. You can't take it with you.

His Oppo 93 has dsd capability I guess (sorry for spying on you :couch).

The Oppo 93 can play SACDs in DSD mode (without conversion to PCM).
Semi off topic question, does anyone know what Acoustic Sounds charge for shipment overseas? One cd, cheapest alternative? I'm so eager to get this, but can't locate it in Europe.[/Q
Acoustic Sounds is the most expensive place even if you live in the US(unless you buy enough for free shipping)...you can find out before the purchase at acoustic sounds...go thru the checkout and you can request an email be sent to you prior to final checkout...it's in the SPECIAL SHIPPING INSTRUCTIONS section...and the cost you will be quoted does not include any custom fees for your country..look under SHIPPING here

Thanks! Looks like you directed to a different disc however, I meant Belafonte not Tony Bennett.
Is elusivedisc cheaper to Europe perhaps?
That's the wrong version...it's not AP...
