Pink Floyd fans, Limited Ed CD Hybrid disc

Subj: Dark Side of the Moon LTD.Ed Hybrid CD by Pink Floyd

I am very happy since I found out digital is going somewhere!
All you Floyd fans out there, this Hybrid is not another remaster with new packaging like what has been happening for the past few years by Floyd.
Its superb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I mean superb!
My Mofi cd will be on ebay soon, yes it sounds better than my Mobil Fidelity Sound II CD that I have!

Try track 7 and you will know what I am saying, I only got this similar effect on my turntable before and now my Krell CD player is able to do it thanks to the software improvement. Good job das boot recordings!

I'm not really sure (keep meaning to do that big test with all the versions I have on CD)that the new hybrid adds much to the available redbook versions,if that's what we're talking about.
The Mofi version is not far off if at all albeit more quietly mastered.
In fact Stereophile reported this disc flawed in terms of redbook..........
SACD is a different matter which I don't have the equipment to comment on....

Phild it doesn't particularly sound better on redbook and I haven't seen that description of the mastering but even if it's accurate I don't thinkit's added too much.
DSOM was recorded '72/73.

Sogood glad you like the multichannel had to laugh though that DSOM only sounded good in your car before.
It's widely regarded as one of the great rock albums of all time.....sounds good anywhere...on anything actually.

Sogood no worries glad you enjoying it whatever-guess I was in "it's about the music " mode.
Well I always am.
Best regards,
