Does Anyone Own The Keith Jarrett The Koln Concert - Japanese Import SHM-SACD? How Good Is The Sound?

[TubeLover]

As the title says. This is a fairly pricey SACD, but Keith Jarret's, The Koln Concert, is a favorite of mine, and I don't mind spending it if this version of the recording justifies it. 

 

Or is there possibly a Hi Def download out there that is superior?

I have it; it's good. 

Don't know if there will be a superior one. A good 24/96 download already exists as well as this. I sort of doubt ECM will put out something better than these.

You should get whatever format you think sounds best in your system.

Well, the "good" 24/96 download is a third the price of the SACD!

The best sounding version (but I have a slight preference for DSD).

Depends on your system, your mood, and what you ate for dinner. If the price of Japanese SACD doesn't embarrass you, buy it. Otherwise, any edition can bring excitement. Back in the seventies I had two LP sets of the Köln Concert. One German original, the other a licensed East German edition on Eterna. Both sets sounded good, each in its own way.
