Is this the digital? Have you heard the bob ludwig remasters? much better. still not the best i've heard (incl some of bob ludgwig's other remastering work), but far better than the original CD.
---- Two-SACD discs set; and I am listening (still) to the hybrid multichannel SACD layers.
...From the multichannel analog output of my Oppo 103 and through the multichannel analog input of my Integra 80.3.
Analog interconnects are Esoteric (Front L&R, Center & Subs), and UltraLink (Surrounds).
The 103 is set to 'Pure Audio'.
And the 80.3 to 'Pure Audio' as well.
No digital, no Room correction & EQ, no bass management (all speakers set to Large), no Audyssey MultEQ XT32, no nothing else but Pure unaltered sound.

Correction! i thought it was Bob Ludwig Gateway...seems like it is 2007 Mercury Records remaster...guess thats why i felt there were better Bob Ludwig remasterings (like Sting/Police)...it wasnt Bob ludwig!

Well, i think my 'earlier reference' was the 1993 cd which was truly bad. so 07 seems a lot better by comparison! Police remasters much better by Bob Ludwig.

Hi Tom...sorry, you might have noticed on an earlier post here, i corrected myself. The remaster was not Bob Ludwig (that was the Police which is excellent), it was done by 2007 Mercury REcords. It is much better than the 1991/92 CD...though it is definitely not as good a remaster in my opinion as the bob ludwig police/sting albums which are far better than their 1980's counterparts on cd.
One of the best interpretation of these I have heard. The Isle of the dead is close to definitive IMO and the dynaics are surprsing .. Very good sounding CD Ashkenazy in his elements
