dllewel connoisseur Registered: 06/20/05 Posts: 1189 Loc: Utah, USA	I have heard both the standard CD and the SACD. They are both excellent. The standard CD sounds so good that you may forget that it is not hi-res audio. _________________________ -Dave M80s VP150 QS8s EP500s ravenmanor.com/cinema/

Mojo connoisseur Registered: 01/21/07 Posts: 3294	Quote: Good call on the Mark Knopfler disc. All of his are well-recorded, as are the later Dire Straits albums. Wow! Track 6 (Ride across the river) of Dire Straits: Brothers in Arms is absolutely incredible! I still can't believe that 2-channel stereo can sound this deep and wide. What about multi-channel recordings? Is there a site that offers some? I listened to Alan Parsons: On Air and was completely blown away.

HomeDad connoisseur Registered: 12/29/05 Posts: 3301 Loc: Central,California	Dire Straits: Brothers in Arms on SACD is one of my favorites, I believe it won best multi-channel recording last year on the Music Awards. I shop at CD Universe, there are many online sites that sell SACD and DVD-A's. _________________________ A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.

duckman devotee Registered: 01/09/03 Posts: 312 Loc: kansas	Brothers in arms is available on both dvd-a and sacd. Somehow I wound up with both. Ordered one from Amazon then found the other on amazon ca., then couldn't change the first order due to being cheap(free shipping option). I've found several titles on Amazon ca. that weren't on amazon.com. I never got the cd version, already had the lp and never got around to it. _________________________ Just say No to HDMI
