A comparison to the domestic release leaves no doubt in my mind this is the superior version. I can hear many more subtle sounds, the highs are not shrill, the bass is tight, instrument separation is great, even with only two channels!

| Mine, too. If I didn't have the Perception set I would probably jump on the SACDs. Be curious to read a comparison of the two. ... more |
