Yeah, I was expecting them tomorrow, but got them in only one day. My SACD player is fine. It is just in the same location that everyone else in the family uses to watch reality tv. I just meant that I should consider another one for the office or bedroom system.

I love Wake of the Flood. One of my favorite GD studio albums (although I pretty much like them all).

Useing a Blu-Ray for SACD ?
I'm tempted to get Wake & Skull/Roses lp from Mobile Fidelity for when my TT comes back.

Saw them a few years ago in DC and like a crazy goon followed PT's limo to the hotel. There were a few people waiting around with albums to sign, etc., but he basically ignored them. As he approached the door of the hotel I yelled out, "WE LOVE YOU, PETE!"

His response, dripping with that Shepherd's Bush accent:

"I know."

Too early to give an informed opinion. I like it so far, it stays in the front pretty much, but I'm OK with that. I do feel like the mix does a good job of placing the band members on a stage, and I can get some decent positioning cues. I haven't compared it to the high-rez stereo mix yet though.

I think you will enjoy the 5.1 better once you get used to it, IMO its very suttle.

Is that vinyl or the cover from the sector 3 box set? How are you liking the sound of the Sector disks? I know you don't do multi-channel, but have you had a chance to compare the Sector sound with vinyl or earlier CD releases?

It is from the Sector 3 box set. So far I'm liking the sound of these latest remasters, I do believe they sound a bit better than the 1997 remasters. I have not had any Rush on vinyl in many years, so I can't make a comparison with the vinyl. But, I am happy with the Sector box sets. I think they sound very good, and I like the packaging too!! :cool:
