I was told by a friend of mine who knows the "higher ups" and mastering engineers at MFSL that they are planning to release The Grateful Dead's "American Beauty" and "Workingman's Dead" on hybrid SACD. I don't know the date(s) of them yet. Just that they are "working on them". I am absolutely looking forward to this as "Workingman's Dead" is one of my all time favorite albums! I'll keep you guys informed as I learn more.:cheesygrin:

My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

    It's not on SACD Jesse, but MFSL did the "silver disc" of Mars Hotel about 20 years ago. My friend had a copy of it in his record/CD shop a couple months back but assumed you owned it already. If you do not, I can see if I can pick it up for you?

    I've had a copy of the Mars Hotel silver on sale on Amazon for about $8 for months now, don't know why it hasn't sold. Jesse if you want it it's yours.
    Good music, a good source, and good power can make SDA's sing. Tubes make them dance.

    $8.00!?!? WTF? That's almost giving it away..... I can't believe it hasn't sold for that price!

    I'll think about it. They did a great job on the Skull & Roses vinyl.
