At least you'll be comparing like with like, even if you're not comparing apples with apples. Indeed, the CD layer of an SACD is not always the same as the CD!

Since I posted that I have a new SACD /CD player and amp so I'll review , I no longer have the original LP swapped it in my teens for Deep Purple in Rock , sort of thing we used to do If you can, set your SACD player up to specifically play the CD layer on hybrid discs. At least you'll be comparing like with like, even if you're not comparing apples with apples. Its not a hybrid disc.

This might have been mentioned here before, but Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon is very good on SACD.

The 2007 remastering by Paschal Byrne is the one to have, which I believe is the one you have on the SACD. The only problem with the SACD version is that it's very, very quiet, and if your system doesn't have sufficient gain it will come across very poorly. With the house empty today I did the comparing and its like you say the SACD is very quiet I had to go from 10 o'clock to 12 o'clock to match the CD . The CD is a more digital sound a bit brighter . The CD is this one ARGUS SACD according to Discogs is from 2014 , this one ARGUS
Just noticed they both have the same booklet , the SACD has Geffin on the back and not MCA Decca but the credits including the re-mixing / re-mastering names are the same ?

Bit more research and my SACD is a re-issue of the first 2010 SACD which came in a slip sleeve , mine is in a jewel case , I suspect they used old booklets and also I have another white info booklet I missed , its in Japanese and English - DSD Trransferred from analogue master tapes by Kenji Yoshino (UNIVERSAL MASTERING STUDIOS)

Done a search on eBay for SACD Hybrid and found nearly 3,800. Mostly classical and some for as little as about £5. Got a Poco 2on1 Cantamos & Seven for about £13.70. On a label called Vocalion. Use quadraphonic mixes. The seller has 33 sacd titles including the likes of Billy Paul, Deodata, Art Garfunkel, Weather Report. Some interesting standard cd titles if a bit of mood music is your thing, including the likes of Hugo Montenegro, Percy Faith, Syd Dale, Paul Mauriat. ebay.co.uk/itm/401559830503A review from a pleased US buyer:

So is Fleetwood Mac`s Rumours ,Eagles Hotel California and of coarse Grover Washington`s Winelight.Porcupine Tree`s stuff is also very good.Rumours and Hotel dvda is far better than the cd verson

Interestingly, Rumours on Qobuz sounds very like the rather excellent DVD-A I still have.
