    This just arrived today so I'm listening to the SACD layer for the first time. Initial impressions are that it is a lot clearer and more dynamic than the original redbook I have. There just seems to be more of anything. It's easier to pick out the individual instruments, and the drums sound very real. I can also hear much more of what Geddy is doing on the bass. This is current listening compared to memory. Not sure if I'm up for a detailed a/b comparison or not, especially if it will ruin any placebo effect I might be suffering from. :wink:

    I found a vinyl copy for $5 a few months back. I bought it based on the cover having never heard of King Crimson before. You're right, it is a gem. I've since purchased In The Wake Of Poseidon, which I really like as well.
