My girlfriend wanted to see her when we was in Vegas but could not get tickets so I thought I would by the blu ray hope it sounds good

That's my storey and I am sticking to it

Best music Blu-rays I've heard:

Neil Young's Archives Vol.1 - stunning but pricey. £200 for 10 Blu-rays. Not just music, but it's all I go back to once I've viewed the film and photo footage.

I'm quite disappointed with the SQ of the recent Zep Blu-ray. I think the CD sounds as good/bad. Shame as they sound on fantastic form.

Other higher-rez formats I've enjoyed:

1) Neil Young's studio albums of the last decade. Most seemed to come with a DVD-A disc too. They sound great. Prairie Wind in 24/96 sounds fantastic.

2) Likewise all the remastered Talking Heads' CDs from a few years back also contained a DVD-A of the album. They sound great. Personal favourites are True Stories and Speaking In Tongues.

3) King Crimson's Crimson King re-issue contains a 24bit hi-rez disc too and that sounds excellent.

4) American Mavericks - Michael Tilson Thomas/SFSO. Modern orchestral music on SACD. Wonderful sound, dynamic and ever so slightly unhinged music.

5) Steely Dan's Gaucho on DTS-CD. I bought this by mistake a few years ago. It wouldn't play in my PS3 but my Denon UD had no problems.

Sounds fantastic, then again it would sound half-decent on a mangled TDK C60 tape too. It's a great recording, if you like your music in ultra-arid, knowingly etoliated form.

Only Blu Ray I have heard 'musically' speaking is a Chemical Brothers one called 'Don't Think'. Even though it is a live concert, my home cinema setup has not produced anything as sweet as this before. I have to use the blu ray and cinema amp for 2 channel CDs, and whilst it's ok, I was astounded by the leap from CD to the Chemical Brothers blu ray. I too would like to expand my blu ray driven music collection (from 1), so would welcome any other recommends (apart from Celine Dion).

Recently bought Neil Young - Psychedelic Pill on blu-ray. = pcm stereo 24b/192k!

Excelent sound and great album with a few very longduring songs, almost a journey. 8) :grin:

Perhaps the record-companys and/or artists can not get anymore profit from their backcatalogue like they hope they did when their DVD video-collections came out.

The Live-concerts will sell but possibly instead of more Blu-ray it will be streaming-video in the near future. :quest:
