Have you tried the MFSL gold CD version? Or have you tried the analog Queen recordings? Perhaps the LP will satisfy you better. (In fact, I will give it a shot myself, as I have not heard any Queen in quite a while). I'll let you know how the comparison is better the MFSL CD and the LP of "A Night at the Opera".)
Queen quandry
Over the past couple of months I've turned over my entire system, one piece at a time. With each switch I'm liking my Queen CDs less and less. The problem seems to be in the discs themselves...poor recordings or poor transfers. A NIGHT AT THE OPERA (1991 re-release, Hollywood 61065-2) sounds really crappy on the first few tracks. The remixed versions of "I'm in Love With My Car" and "You're My Best Friend" are much better, but the rest of the disc is thin, and digital artifacts creep into the soundstream. A KIND OF MAGIC is a little better, but I'm still not happy with it. Any suggestions for better recordings out there? What about SACD -- is Queen in or out on that one? (No jokes, please.)
