HiRez Poll Genesis - THE LAMB LIES DOWN ON BROADWAY [SACD] (UK)

[edisonbaggins]

Do you think it possible you might have a confirmation bias towards SACD because, you know, it's lossless 'hi rez' and therefore by 'widely held' audiophile thinking, must sound better?

Anything is possible. However, I have A/B'ed both and stated my preference, based on what I heard. If you think that's bullshit, too bad, so sad.

Science thinks such A/B methods are bullshit. (Tough crowd, science.)

So, I'm just about done with this conversation, FYI.
The standard for music appreciation is not the scientific method. I'm not sure why you're having such a hard time accepting someone else's word for what they're hearing. Perhaps you're just being a troll.

Who says I don't accept your word? I accept that you sincerely believe the SACD sounds better. I am not convinced by your argument that it does.

I voted 9. I listened to all of this 2 days ago and as it is a double album it certainly is a long listen. The SACD 5.1 was good surround for me. The track 1, title track is really the only hit, but there where songs that I really liked and others not so much.

Well, I'm giving this SACD a 10, which is rare for me here. The visuals on the DVD are ace and the whole 1970 - 1975 box is killer to me, but The Lamb... is the best-sounding of them all.

Voting 9.

SACD 5.1 sounds very good. Slideshow on the DVD is fun to watch.
Just hoping for a sonic upgrade, maybe an Atmos remix, someday.
