Right now I am listening to ...

[echo77]

I don't believe it came in High Res DVD-A format. I have the 5.1 SACD cut of this and you can hear every instrument around you for songs like time, money, breathe etc. For US and them, you can hear the snare drum beat on the SL so clear beyond the other instruments.

THe guitar and major drum beats are localized to FL/FR. The vocals are C/SL/SR at various times and the extra effects like laughing, crackling on the disk are set to FR and SL pan as well as FL/SR pan.

Its an amazing experience when you sit in the middle and close yoru eyes and listen to the entire CD.

My major gripe about the CD is that it does not have Comfortably numb on it as that songs stresses all speakers and sub with its range of frequency. Very similar to Stairway to Heaven.

The DVDA is a 4.1 from the original quadrophonic (4 channel) master tape by Alan Parsons in 1973. The .1 has been added. The DVDA is a bootleg, rumored to be leaked by Parsons himself.

The 5.1 SACD is not from the original master tape, but remastered from 2 channels by the master remasterer James Guthrie (not sure if Doug Sax was involved).

This is a quad mix. It blows away, yes I repeat, blows away the SACD. I read all over the internet that it did but didn't believe it would until I heard it for myself. My complaint about 5.1 music is that the sound is too centered. Not this. This 4.1 mix is great for 2 channel purists and still gives you rear surround. The bass is amazing.

It made every hair on my body stand up and put a smile on my face, making me gitty like a child.

I have read that thread & the reference when it came out. If you read the first note

"This is not available for sale." So unless you are talking about a pirated copy that was not cleaned up properly....then I will let you take the stage.

The SACD is very clean without any hiss whatsoever. My relatively mid-fi music system brings me audio bliss like not many else. Also, note the OP was banned for manuf bashing over and over again. Not only that he has also threatened other members on Aholics. So take what he says with a bag of salt.

I mentioned that the DVD is a bootleg. Interpretation of recording quality and bootleg laws is up to each individual.

Absolutely wrong. So you are OK if you neighbour steals your stuff and he interprets them as having taking it? Its the country you live in. Just because you can land a bootleg does not justify it. Same with downloaded music....Anyway no point discussing illegal means and ends...

Talking specifically about Pink Floyd; bootlegs of Floyd have been promoted by the band members for a long time. Gilmour has gone ahead and included bootlegged videos in the PULSE DVD. A specific term has been coined for Floyd bootlegs by bootlegging fans since the 70s - RoIO (records of indeterminate/illegitimate origin).

 

[marsilians]

Your comments have drifted from listening to a "not for sale DVD-A" to interpretation of the law to a Rock Bands bootleg promotion.

Re: ROIO, yes Floyd fans used the term first but it was meant to denote recording whose legal status was difficult to determine. In your case, the DSOTM DVD-A is not in such a gray area, its pretty illegit as far as any floyd fan can see (and I am a big one at that!). I have all their albums either on LP or CD or SACD.

BTW, I also know and heard (not owned) Dylan, The Who and Led Zep bootlegs.

 

[echo77]

I have bought all Floyd CDs, so finding a not-for-sale DVDA isn't causing much harm, eh? That's my interpretation.

Haven't you ever listened to any mp3? Not even to see what quality the sound was?

(ps: mods, pl feel free to delete posts gone out of track)

 

[marsilians]

For sure I have listened to lots of mp3s - I used to have a napster account couple of yrs ago (USD 10.99 / 3 months account). Then I also have an itunes account. Download and share between 3 pods.

I am not trying to police but just pointing to some obvious gaps in the logic and positions thats all. Despite all claims by the police and RIAA, downloads is the way to go generally and there is not much they can do to stop it.

To each on their own. Do I condone it, no. Am I stupid to think it will stop, no way in hell. So do what pleases yourself till such time you dont harm anyone else in the process.

 

[echo77]

To each on their own.

It boils down to individual perception of laws.

To get the thread back on track, am still listening to Gilmour: Live in Gdansk
