What's the latest Multichannel SACD or DVD-A added to your pile? - Vol 1 (CLOSED)

Interested to see what you make of the surround mix on this LK.

I don't remember being overly knocked out by it.. and only played it through the once before moving on.. but that was a few years ago and there's been a lot of surround since, so its probably overdue another listen to give it a fair crack of the whip.

certainly better surround on the "Rough Mix" DVDA DualDisc than I remembered, many times there's separate stuff happening all over the place, though still some "cop out" double stereo and lead vocals replicated at too high a volume level in the rears.. a fair few times I felt it could have got a bit more discrete/ambitious in the rears...

but.. (and here's the big bugbear for me) this is one example of an album where the vocals should have been a little less "exposed", neither PT nor RL were up to much as singers imho.. still a nice enough album, with a nice feel, great musicianship, varying degrees of songwriting quality, mostly effective surround mix and very nice sound quality.

I don't know if there's a QQ Poll but I'd probably give it a 7.

Hey Markus - Is this true discrete or a Surround-o-matic?

Funny that yours is stuck in the mail, and mine got to me from the UK already!

Its not bad - I need to have another listen.

Funny seeing those Elvis SACDs mixed in with the $6 ones. Now if only they were $6.

I'll be ordering this from Elusive soon. Not buying from Acoustic after they screwed up my last order and expected me to return an item at my expense.

Hi,

I got some Don Henley - End of the Innocence DTS disc without all artwork (booklet, inlay) - I was aware of that and got it cheap. Does somebody of you have a scan of the artwork so I can "complete" my copy.

Many thanks in advance

Markus
