Beethoven Symphonies No. 5 & 7 Carlos Kleiber Is this Carlos guy any good?

I know I've asked this question before, but I seriously don't remember the answer. But when it comes to sound quality and fidelity, is the absolute best source the master tapes? Would they beat any vinyl, CD, SACD, etc hands down? Just curious. :)

Highway 61 Revisited sounded pretty kick ass on vinyl.

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.

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.

I ordered Tommy Deluxe Edition from Deep Discount. Needless to say, the multi-channel audio and the PS3's visualizer are amazing experiences.

I totally forgot to mention this: I got Derek and the Dominos - Layla Hybrid SACD a while back. I've never heard Layla on LP so I can't comment on how it should sound originally, but I thought the album was fantastic. I've only listened to the stereo SACD part, but Layla just brought tears to...

No I didn't. My Deluxe Edition only came with two hybrad SACD's. I have seen a DVD audio and a SACD version at one of my Best Buy's, but nothing else.

Elton John: Goodbye Yellow Brick Road Deluxe Edition (Hybrid SACD) Elton John: Madman Across The Water (Hybrid SACD) Anybody have any comments on Captain Fantastic and the Dirt Brown Cowboy Deluxe edition or The Who's Tommy Deluxe Edition?

I got the 80Gb one. I tried out Dark Side of the Moon, and it sounds pretty awesome.

I just recently purchased a Sony PS3, and I'm planning on upgrading my 7+ year old receiver to a Pioneer Elite. Having said that, I think I can enjoy SACD's for the first time. Are there any particular settings I want to pay attention to to maximize my audio enjoyment?

It sounds slightly better, and I only double-dipped because I love AC/DC. I kind of wished it was 5.1 like the other DVD album I have (Fleetwood Mac Rumours). I'll do a more comprehensive comparison later.
