This review is from: Fennell conducts Sousa [Hybrid SACD] (Audio CD)

These are unquestionably outstanding performances that have been recognized since the original LP's were released in the late '50's. I have only heard the stereo mix from the SACD because the only multichannel amp I have is in my video system, which is nowhere near as good as my audio system. The SACD stereo mix beats the LP by a significant margin, and this is not an easy admission for me to make, being an analog junkie until I got my first SACD player a few weeks ago. Don't get me wrong - the LP is still as good as ever, but the lack of surface noise, compression, and inner groove distortion does make a difference. My redbook CD will sit on the shelf. Enjoy.
