Pink Floyd - Immersion boxsets

[96cobra10101]

Does anyone have any of them? They look pretty pricey for a set of discs, but I found some close to the $100 range. But even then, are they worth that, or should I just stick with the Redbook CD's I already have.

You missed the sale then. DSOTM Immersion was on sale on Amazon for $50. I didn't buy it either though, and probably should have.

Dang, I probably would have snatched it for $50.

Did you post that sale on here? If not, then shame on you. If yes, then shame on me!

I am pretty sure I did post it over in the deals area. It was actually a while back. Looks like it was $62, which is still half of what it is today.

Well, I suppose you can lead a horse to water but can't make him drink. Sorry that I missed that one.

I wouldn't worry to much I have seen the prices on the Immersion box sets fluctuate quite a bit. Wouldn't surprise me if the prices drop again.

I'll wait for a sale and try to get all sets. Wife's been wanting Christmas gift idea's from me so that's why I was looking in the first place. Its hard to justify paying over $100 on something I already have on Redbook CD.

For Christmas last year the GF got me the WYWH set, She paid about $100.
While the multi channel mixes are very good; I wouldn't say they're worth what she paid.

That was my concern and is sort of why I didn't buy DSOTM at the time, since I already have it on SACD.

I have The Wall from Immersion, and if i'm not mistaken, the DR is poo. I'm pretty sure they remastered and compressed the life out of it. I'll check the DR in a few hours for you, and let you know. If they did compress the life out of it, I recomend the original recordings, as the loudness war did not exist.

Ok, sorry about the delay. I'll run the songs right now.

While they have pretty good DR, out of the 12 tracks I tested, 10 clip. :O If one can find an original CD vs a remaster, I would most definitely do that.

all of that is easy to find on the internet
