Moody Blues "Question of bal." CD or SACD vs Vinyl

I no longer have the capability of playing vinyl. I do have two different versions of "Question of Balance". One is the MFSL version which I loved. Then I bought the new SACD version. Boy, what a difference. Actually, probably the biggest difference that I have seen with the SACD format.

Although the MFSL version is very clear and precise, the SACD version is more expansive and full. I don't know which is more truthful.

Would someone out there who has the vinyl and has compared it to either the MFSL CD or the newer SACD please comment on the comparison.

Please, no in general comment like "all CD's are crap", or "vinyl always is best". I am interested in which of the formats that I have is closest to "correct".

Thank you,
Richard

I am and have been a large Moody Blues fan since the late 60s. My first concert was at the LSU assembly center early 70s and the last was just a few months ago at the intimate venue of Beau Rivage in Biloxi. By far the best of the number of shows i've seen was at Audubon Park in New Orleans during the early 90s a full 3 plus hours of Moodys magic music at a super out door show.

My preference lyes with vinyl but i have heard the Moodys in all formats. For me vinyl has the best music delivery, sound and feel. IMO

What was mentioned above is so true enjoy the Moody Blues any way you can. They please me as much now then the first time i heard them many years ago. I love them Moodys and by this thread so do most of you so drop the needle or press the button and enjoy some of the best classic rock music ever recorded.
