The Dark Side of the Moon: analog & digital comparison (CD, SACD, Vinyl, Tape)

In this video we explore and compare different digital and analog versions of one of the most famous Pink Floyd’s album, the Dark Side of the Moon. In particular we focus on the track ’Money’ sourced by: 1990’s CD, 2003 anniversary SACD, 2003 anniversary remastered & 1973 original vinyl pressings, XDR - HX Pro cassette tape and reel to reel master tape copy (2 track 15ips)! (N.B. The actual listening of these versions live, that is reproduced through a Hi-Fi system, is truly incomparable in respect to these digitalized files. The Master Tape copy version is by far the best, although listening to the Hi-Res files the quality is only slightly better. I guess this is the downside of digital audio, conversion and compression processes) !ATTENTION! - For a better comparison stream or download the high resolution versions (192Khz / 24 bit) of ’Money’ of each media following these links: - CD version: - SACD version:
