Best Dark Side of the Moon?

   The best I've heard was the 1980's Japanese vinyl pressing. Remember them? The acetates were cut at half speed or something, making the  resulting vinyl disks sound extremely pure. The Jap press of "The Wall" beats any CD I've ever heard for audio dynamics.

	Yes you're right, among the differents CD versions, the 1994 one is the best. The 30th CD/SACD version is really POOR

	I agree, any differences are so small no one could possibley notice. although cds are obviously very good quaity cause they last longer.

	I think the differences are so small as to be generally unimportant...It is all good to me.
