Dire Straits : what is your favorite pressing?

Brothers in Arms sounded best on the original CD IMHO. Everything since was not as good. The CD has an early digital sound but overall pretty impressive - very dynamic like Supertramp Crime of the Century - really breathes.

To this day, Chuck now runs tape on everything and usually analog is what gets selected in mastering for most tracks.

All relative I guess. The studio box set released a few years ago and made in Germany by Pallas is good. There is another version done later in Czechlosvakia by GZ which is atrociously packaged and dirty - needs thorough clean before even first use and has more surface noise  - best avoided - unscrupulous sellers will try to pass off the GZ as Pallas by using one of the original photos.
