Do any of your Rolling Stones recordings bring "Satisfaction"?

Before I became a snobby audiophile I loved the Rolling Stones.  But as my system grew and I discovered all kinds of sounds in recordings (CD as well as Vinyl) that I had never heard before and the openness and depth of soundstage that was a wonder, I never had that same Wow moment with the Stones recordings.  Actually the best sound I have found came from the Hot Rocks double LP.  Has anyone else had a better experience with their recordings?  Having gone through so many remasters, nothing seems to have changed.  Sticky Fingers should be something better than we get.  The opening riff of Brown Sugar has always seemed so muddy.  My rant, any thoughts?

I don’t know Michael. One of my all time favorites, The Stone’s great "Let It Bleed" album sounded terrible when I took it along with some other (vinyl) albums to audition speakers on some really fine equipment. I didn’t expect that and was pretty disturbed. That album was the soundtrack for my senior year in high school. I played it daily. I’d love to hear a well recorded version of "Let It Bleed" on an SACD on my new system and will seek one out. Thanks for that suggestion gpgr4blu. I'd try a DSD recording if I had a DSD player.

Is there any consensus on the best recording of "Let It Bleed" you can acquire on either vinyl, CD or SACD. My Magico A3’s are scheduled to arrive Wednesday after an almost half year wait, and this thread has given me the idea of making a well done Let It Bleed recording a great way to christen them. That is, if I can get the recording in time. I remember as a teenager thinking how great it would be to play this record on a "really good" stereo. Well that day has almost arrived fifty years later. Better late than never.
