Hrmm..24/96 Deluxe Ed of Damn the Torpedos

I got the HDCD version at Walmart for $5. Sounds really good, good enough.

I found it extremely good - better than MFSL. The clarity is superb. I use the same speakers as Tom Petty and the same as his sound engineer Ryan Ulyate -maybe that has something to do with it?

To me the CD sounded very muted to the point of needing to turn it up at least 5-8 more clicks on the volume knob then normal. At this level on my DAC/Pre volume position I would typically be in the +100db spl range in my listening room on other albums that I consider very well recorded.

I also have the Anthology box set that I think sounds excellent which doesn't have the same problem in my setup.

I am running the new B&W 803 Diamond line of speakers powered by a PASS x250 amp, Bel Canto DAC3 and Logitech Transporter.

I am a huge fan of HD Tracks, I really love what they do and how they do it.

This particular download purchase was not a good value in my opinion.
