I have not heard that (or don't remember reading it), but it might be fun to give it a try. I personally like the DD mix on RiR, but have been experimenting with 2 CH stuff with NEO:6, PL II Music, and EARS (proprietary NAD ambience extraction mode). With certain 2 CH material, the results...

In the newest S&V, there is a "15 Minutes" with Alex. Well, lets say that those of us that would like to hear classic Rush in 5.1 will be disappointed if Alex has the last word on the subject. To paraphrase, he prefers to leave well enough alone. Geesh, I would have to think if someone sat...

In case you just can't get enough of the RiR thread, there is another big-ass thread here: http://www.stevehoffman.tv/forums/sh...threadid=23105 Probably the same three guys going back and forth at both places, but hey, there can never be TOO MUCH Rush discussion! BGL

EDIT: Well, the preceeding post answers a few of my questions. -------------- Well, since we are talking video and not audio, I will dive back in... At lunch, I fired up several concert DVDs. AC/DC, Alice in Chains, Santana, Sabbath, and U2. The only one that is anamorphic 16:9 is AC/DC...

You are forgiven...... Now just don't go and post that you think RiR sounds like crap. I will revoke your forgiveness:D BGL

I am going to stand down on trying to sort out why some don't like it, and some do. If you like it, you like it. If you don't, you don't. Of all the discs in my collection, I don't think I have ever seen one with such a wide extreme of viewpoints. I only hope that if you are a fan of the...

Cool. I do have Zep, Alice in Chains (No argument with that one. Killer sound, IMHO!), and Santana. I have not listened to any of them recently, and I have made some changes in my rig since then, so I will revisit them. Having said that, this will not likely change anyone's views on...

1. To each his own on the sound. When someone posts that there is no bass, and someone then posts that it is overwhelming, you have to wonder. In my case, I did take it down a few clicks, but I can sure live with that problem. FWIW, there is no such thing as too much bass. You can always...

Jeff, no problem here with opposing views. All opinions are valid. My experience with live DVDs is that this was the first that I own that had concert level bass. So, from the opening drone "E" note of Tom Sawyer, I was sporting a world class shit-eatin' grin. None of the other live rock...

I would agree that the vocals are a tad low in the mix, and the bass is a bit high, but those problems are easily dealt with via the level controls. What I focus on in a rock recording is the sound of the bass and drums, in particular the cymbals. I am looking for slam, impact, tonal balance...

Let me re-phrase the question... Any word on the CD mastering? I expect I will like the mix, but as well all know, poor mastering can kill a CD. BGL

Finally got my discs, and got to watch most of it before the family got home. All I can say is that, to these ears, this is the best live concert mix I have heard to date. Every member has a defined place in the mix. Very, very well done. DTS? We don't need no DTS. The 5.1 DD mix on this...

Hey Paul! Yup, I sure do like a good Rush discussion, but this one is making my head hurt and I don't even have the bloody disc yet:D I may just go buy one at a B&M store, and return the one enroute from CC, just so I can jump into the sandbox with the other kids! I suppose I was not...

This can't be right. Your player has NFI what your TV is set for. Now, on some sets, the TV will detect an anamorphic disc via an s-vid connection, but it doesn't go the other way. Based on these reports, this has to be one of the most fouled up DVD releases in history. Some users say the...

Fair enough. I missed that, but only checked the individual price for the DVD. On Sunday, the prices came up as I reported. Seemed odd to me. BGL

FWIW, Best Buy and Circuit City have RiR listed in their Sunday circulars. What is sort of a surprise is that BB has both the CD and DVD for a full $5 MORE than CC. IIRC, CC has the DVD at 19.99, and the CD at 14.99. BB has the DVD at 24.99, and the CD at 19.99. I thought that BB may have...
