$6....! You dog! I'm sure I paid $20 or more for it back in '02 or '03. It was one of my first 50 Sack-Dee's, I'm sure.

I knew Eleanor had a new album but didn't know it was again on SA-CD. Back to U.K. Amazon or Play, I suppose.....?

Yeah, the Downward Spiral was released on SACD with a 5.1 surround mix and a bunch of extras. I picked it up a few years ago. Predictably, it sounds really good. Looks like Music Direct still has it for sale.

Don't know if I mentioned it but I was able to find the missing Vanguard titles I was looking for and I recently got the Manitas de Plata flamenco guitar recording that is incredible.

Re: What Hirez Discs Have You Purchased Recently?

Anyone picking up the Heart: Alive in Seattle Blu-ray that just came out (or the previous HD-DVD version)? Thoughts on it?

I passed on the SACD release a few years ago, but think I might go for the Blu-ray from DVD Planet for a measely ~$13 (w/ the current 20% off coupon sale). It's supposed to be using DTS-HD/MA for the 5.0 hirez audio though there's probably not much going on w/ the surround channels outside of crowd noise...

As far as SACD is concerned, I wasn't a big fan of The Downward Spiral's mix. It just didn't sound much different.

Let's see:
Playstation 3 80GB (Hooked up with HDMI)
Pioneer Elite VSX-92TXH
Acousic Research HC6 Speakers

So far, I've been impressed with Tommy, Madman Across The Water, and Captain Fantastic and the Dirt Brown Cowboy. The Dylan's are a little disappointing.

Decent enough gear. I rather like the Dylans compared to my regular CDs. I like some of the vinyl better than the SACDs but it varies.

Highway 61 Revisited sounded pretty kick ass on vinyl.

I love the Dylan SACD's, with "Blood on the Tracks" and "Highway 61 Revisited" being my favorites.

Just received Eric Clapton's 461 Ocean Boulevard. The first SACD I've purchased in a long time. Unfortunately, my SACD player is packed away right now, so it'll be a bit before I can listen to it.

I just got Hiromi's Beyond Standard SA-CD. It just finished playing. It's an album of standards. After a first listen, I really don't like it as much as her original stuff. Maybe it'll grow on me?

No. Been watching the Audio Asylum threads but I'm holding out for the HRX (DVD Audio/ROM) versions. They sound terrific; a friend got one several weeks ago and the 24/176 sound is terrific.

Finally took the plunge on the Genesis boxed set (76-82). I know about the raging debates over sound quality, but there are too many sources and reviewers I respect who like it for me to pass up a chance to get my favourite band's music in hi-res MCH SACD. I got a good price from a German online store (just hope the import tax/duties don't crush me).

Depeche Mode - Construction Time Again SACD
Animals - Retrospective SACD
Macy Gray - The Trouble With Being Myself SACD
Paul Simon - You're The One DVD-A
Steely Dan - Two Against Nature DVD-A
America - Homecoming DVD-A

Already have the last two but couldn't resist buying these copies for spares, or trades.

Let me know what you think Paul. I've been thinking about this one as well.
