Moody Blues "Question of bal." CD or SACD vs Vinyl

I no longer have the capability of playing vinyl. I do have two different versions of "Question of Balance". One is the MFSL version which I loved. Then I bought the new SACD version. Boy, what a difference. Actually, probably the biggest difference that I have seen with the SACD format.

Although the MFSL version is very clear and precise, the SACD version is more expansive and full. I don't know which is more truthful.

Would someone out there who has the vinyl and has compared it to either the MFSL CD or the newer SACD please comment on the comparison.

Please, no in general comment like "all CD's are crap", or "vinyl always is best". I am interested in which of the formats that I have is closest to "correct".

Thank you,
Richard

Nsgarch,

The SACD of "Balance" has an instantly noticable fullness compared to the CD.
I will eagerly await your response to find out if the vinal gives that same very noticeable difference.

PS> I too have a MUCH better system then when I originally listened to the record; and often in an altered state, which as we know can make everything sound fabulous.
