Re: Aw, damn...I'm gonna have to buy it, PCM-sourced and all. (nt)

I rarely even think to look/listen for the recording type designation any more. In this case the pamphlet doesn't say. Whether DSD or PCM the sound is ”very good" but would not make my "top ten". Sound quality for the Saint Saens disc is not in the same league as, say, Fischer's Mahler 2. But I would think that the Saint-Saens disc was technically so much more difficult to pull off successfully given the "organ factor" and perhaps because it was a live venue. I suspect recording type to be a lesser factor here. So, while the "sound quality" may fall a bit less than top tier the "sonics" (pyrotechnics) are clearly top 10 material.

You'll be happy to hear that the noises I referred to during the quiet passages gives the recording a distinct vinyl flavor :)
