What’s Spinning December 2025


Dire Straits Live 1978-92
44.1/24
Qobuz

Being the Dire Straits fanboy I am, this collection is a delight. Purportedly contains all DS live releases, but I don’t think that’s quite true. However, it is deep, and if you want more, that’s what Roon, Qobuz, and the internet are for!

I’m still on the fence about the Blu-ray (only because ripping takes work and time for me), but the Qobuz set is a delight.

The Atmos mix is it for me! Really well done. But if you do not play immersive, you can skip this Blu-ray IMO.

Judging by the content in the box-out this is the same version that @AudiophileStyle recommended in his year-end round-up of his favourite immersive releases.

@AudiophileStyle try this one, you might love it too! I know you don’t like a screen, so maybe you can skip the view :wink: SQ is great IMO.

My Year 1 room mate at Southampton University was a good friend of The Beat’s bassist, David Steele.
As a result, we were given free tickets to their gigs, which were always great fun!
