    Interesting.

    I have the original Supertramp Redbook CD issue and it sounds very good indeed. I have the SHM-CD and it sounds a teensy bit more dynamic (no brickwalling and compression at all).

    I'm curious to know if this will be remastered or just a 'pressing' from the a previous master.

    "I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion." :\
    My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

    Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms i have the sacd on mofi it does sound great!
    Rainbow - Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow I am suprised at and excited! Love Rainbow / Purple
    Supertramp - Crime of the Century another one I am excited on. I have the LP from way back and kind of forgot about it.

    The Shm that i have of queen were definately better sounding vs the original cd. This should be a good round. Time to hit cdjapan!

    Thanks for letting us know!!!

    From Steve Hoffman Forums:
    "2014 DSD masters from original analogue tapes" - HMV Japan.

    Now - it depends on who did the remastering....

    If I get the SHM-SACD of "Brothers In Arms", it will be my 11th version. MUST RESIST!

    Otherwise, I'll get the Moody Blues and Supertramp. Styx is on the radar as well.

    Don't forget the Carpenters SHM-SACD is also being released in the same time frame after postponement.

    You certainly have me beat on the Brothers In Arms Danny! I have a feeling the mastering on the Fobile Fidelity will be better, but the fact that in a single layer and has the green layer on top (I forget the name of the top green layer) and is SHM will give the SHM-SACD a boost too. I will be interested in hearing which one is better.
