Alison Krauss + Union Station Live: SACD hybrid or CD?

Double Ugly · « **on:** 14 Feb 2004, 03:40 am »

My system is currently 2-ch only, but I've heard some still prefer the SACD hybrid.

What say ye?

Hybrid no doubt. I just did the comparison two nights ago. The hybrid is better. I think it is a little more dynamic.

Much thanks, kind sir. This will be my first foray into the world of SACDs.

Wish me luck!

Hi,

I don't have an sacd player but keeping reading references about this cd on this forum.

Is it worthwhile buying this cd? I haven't heard her music before and is it a good audiophile recording?

The recording & sound is superb, but the real highlight is the fantastic music. If you've never heard her before you're in for a real treat! There's not a single clinker on either of the discs of the 2 disc set, IMO. Uncommonly good sound for a live recording.

Hello Rod,Thanks for asking. Nothing new to report...Hugh has to build it , that takes time, and he is running a business. I'm sure when it's completed , everyone will know. Here's a link for the last posts, in case others don't know what AKSA is

Hi,

Thankx for the advice.

I bought the new Norah Jones cd yesterday. It seems okay nothing special, her first album had better songs imo.

I'll check out the allison krauss cd next week.
