Questions about U2's GOLD MFSL CD's?

[alanah]

I've never noticed any better sound quality on those MFSL versions and, some of those tracks with different lengths on it sound equal to me as well. Ok, maybe it's because I use a very simple headphones to listen to my CDs.

I found my gold War cd at Hasting's , in the used cd's .
I don't remember what I payed for it but I know it was under 10
bucks , I almost didn't get it because I didn't know what it was at the time .

Doesn't the gold record get its excellent quality from the thin layer of gold on the bottom of the CD? Otherwise, copying it onto a normal CD wouldn't sound any different than the non-gold disc.

Can anyone who downloaded these let me know where, and perhaps seed the downloads...

They should be available still on demonoid.com (torrents)

 

[tleaves]

Thanks, the registrations are closed there, though, so no luck for me...

War: (this one is an external so it should work for sure)

Hopefully you can get em. I'd gladly get the real discs but since I could never find them the d/l's will have to do.

Thanks CT, unfortunately, you need to be a member to access those links as well (except for War), thanks for trying none the less.

Sorry. You used to be able to get at them w/out joining. Grab War at least, it's very good.

Gold ones and zeroes sound the same as silver ones and zeores. The discs sound better because they've been remastered.

I can tell the difference even on my iPod, where both versions are ripped with the same bitrate.
