I've had the MFSL SACD Doobie Bros "What Were Once Vices" for a bit now, but gave it the full listening experience today.

With the family gone, I was able to sit un-interrupted, a bit of something nice to drink, and with the volume at a good room filling volume.

What a great SACD this is!

Great sonics, clear layers of instruments and the music is just plain *good rock*.

If there was anything to critique is that on most of the tracks, the bass seems just a tiny tad 'shy'.

But when you get to track 11: Daughters of the Sea - it all comes together.

This track is a system demo track....wow!

Thumbs up!

H9: If you don't trust what you are hearing, then maybe you need to be less invested in a hobby which all the pleasure comes from listening to music.

    I've got a vinyl copy and enjoy it. I can only imagine how it sounds on Sacd. I got the poster from the lp down in the pub room with the shot of them in front of DoobieLiner.

    Yes, MOFI has done a great job with these Doobie Brothers SACDs. This one along with "Toulouse Street" and "The Captain and Me" are excellent. "Stampede" will be released sometime this year.
