I have the Mobile Fidelity record, and I don't like it. So, I went years before even considering this SACD. After reading the two reviews here, I decided to buy it, and I am very happy with the purchase.

If you have the Mobile Fidelity record, you will know it as being too bright with horrible sibilence. Luckily, the SACD has none of those traits. This is how the record should have sounded.

Paul Simon does a good job of filling the soundtage from left to right, and what he does with the title song is nothing less than beautiful. The voices tend to be in the middle with good-to-great focus. The voices generally have greater volume than the instruments - so they stand out, but the instruments are well- represented, and sound pretty realistic. Then there are the completely smile-inducing vocals on The 56th Bridge song, where they are hyperfocused, and the effect is intense but joyful.

There is tape hiss if you turn the volume up loud enough.

Overall, this

Yes i bought this excited about it until i sat down to listen to it and it's kind of outdated...even the hits weren't the same for me...and i thought it was too cluttered in sound...the harshness got to me...eg silent night you can hear both on CD but on SACD it's too harsh...i don't recommend this one...now alot of these come out great this isn't one of them...i give it 4 stars though because the sound is very full just disappointed in myself not feeling connected to this album...but i could be wrong there have been times i hated an album than listen to it again i love it...i guess if your a simon and garfunkel fan you have to get this before it goes out of print...it really not a bad recording maybe i should adjust the levels not every recording should be set up the same.


Superb.

This is a simply superb mix. Detail, depth, soundstage are all there. Instruments are so well placed and the percussion is beautiful. Vocals are never buried and you'll hear nuances that simply aren't there on the RBs.

A must for every Simon and Garfunkel fan.
