Format:Audio CD
I just cannot believe the dynamics of this album could improve so much with the SACD version. Very smooth sounding and exceptional vocal clarity. The biggest surprise was the separation of the intruments, each one very distinct and can be followed individually. I own the original version of the cd as well as the LP (a reissue) and it beats both of them hands down in every department.
Any fan of Dire Straits if owns an SACD player must have this album. I thought twice about buying this since this is the third format for me, but I am glad I decided to get it. Worth every penny I spent on it.
My system is two channel.

I have owned "Brothers In Arms" in various formats since it's 1985 release, and I have to say that this really does top the bill. The remastering on this hybrid disc is absolutely outstanding. I wasn't completely sold on the SACD format until this release and boy was I blown-away. If you have owned this album before, then do yourself a favour and get this the 20th anniversay edition. A classic album deserving of space on your shelf. Buy it!

Here's a summary:
1) The surround mix uses the full length versions as heard on CD & cassette (rather than the edited 1,2,4&5 tracks on the vinyl)
2) Money For Nothing suffers in surround. Some of the original very prominent keyboard sounds have been mixed out and the track doesn't sound right for it.
3) The mix is very echoey and I found it hard work to listen to in a long sitting.
4) It appears that the 5.1 mix is more compressed than the original mix. The impact of the louder passages on The Man's Too Strong is not really there for me
5) The rear channels are used well, backing vocals and keyboard parts, etc can be heard at the back.
Shame about the reverb!

If you owned the CD, you'll know how good the album is. But it has to be said, the SACD version is definitely smoother and more detailed. Read more

Stunning SACD surround mix of seminal album
Well, I will admit right way that getting this was, prior to its arrival, something I'd assigned the category 'guilty (possible) pleasure'. Read more

Oldies are the best
I purchased this to replace an old LP of this record. This is probably the best record ever produced by Eric Clapton.
