Dark Side of the Moon - Is MFSL really all that?


So I got a copy of the MFSL pressing of DSotM. I haven't done extensive comparisons, but one major thing I feel is missing from my original CD (which I have no idea right now exactly WHICH CD) is the kind of surround effects present in some of the tracks. MFSL sounds more like an acoustic cut, while the original CD sounds like an effects CD.

Is this right, and what people like about the MFSL pressing? Help me be a cognoscenti please.

Hey @stereo5 which of your digital releases would you recommend?

I have no vinyl here I'm afraid.

Best,

On my system, the latest Experience Edition sounds the best for cd, followed by the SACD Remaster.  The Experience Edition is 2 disks, the second disk is a live recording of Dark Side from Wembley Stadium.  The MFSL comes in third, as its more analog sounding but is very hissy.

IMO, the 1983 Japanese Harvest CD sounds better than any remaster I have heard.
Very open sonics, uncompressed, with wild sound effects. Can be found on Discogs.
There are 2 MFSL pressings of Dark Side. The first, and better sounding, has block letters across the top. The second has slanted letters. Neither release is remarkable. 
I own 16 copies of this album and the best are:
1. Original U.K. first pressing
2. Japanese Pro-Use Series EMLF-97002
3. Japanese EMS-80324
