Obviously this is just to offer a counterargument to what you've said. Not meaning to suggest that any opinion on this topic can possibly be considered "wrong."
But, IMO, if Wilson's remixes are now what is considered "audiophile." Then forget it. The idea is clinging to life, at best.

How about Anglagard's Viljans Oga? I haven't heard the CD but the LP at least sounds very good to me.

Greetings,
I rarely post anything resembling self-promotion here, but we've received a lot of positive feedback about the fidelity and clarity of the 24/96 version of Advent's latest album, Silent Sentinel, that was beautifully mastered in this audiophile format by the amazing Bob Katz. Here's a direct link to this version of the album for anyone who might be interested:

Although it probably seems obvious, please note that Bandcamp always streams music at a much lower quality (equivalent to 128k MP3 if memory serves), so the audiophile nature of the recording/mastering will only be evident if purchased and downloaded.
Cheers,
Alan
Truth is I didn't give the CD a critical listen. Given the fact that the band went to the trouble of cutting the album at 45rpm it should sound better. To me its dynamically constricted. To the average listener it may seem fine.
Elvis Costello made a song called "High Fidelity" does that count?
Hmmm, I'll try to focus on that aspect on the next spin. I haven't noticed a lack of dynamics, or it wasn't apparent to me. In any event, I have grown to love the album. I was lukewarm for the first few spins (its following two monsters as you well know), but once the light-switch was flipped, I was hooked. Its pretty on par with the other two, or at least pretty close.
Seems the loudness-war website shows the vinyl release having pretty good dynamic range, and 3 other versions (not stated format) not so good.

I almost always agree with you on audio issues. Not so sure about this one...

Huh. I'm going to have to revisit my LP as we're usually pretty simpatico on assessing these things Ken. Truth be told, I have the lossless files on my Sony portable which gets the most play and it sounds pretty great through the Shure 535 in-ears and I don't get nearly the same amount of listening time for vinyl. Not suggesting it as demo material but I find the production much better than average. That said, it can't really compete with the HOG SACD so probably not fair of me to suggest both and insinuate they were of the same level of production quality.
Let's agree to put the stereo geekery aside for a moment and agree on the quality of both albums...great stuff!

I've heard Flim & the BB's music was used to test stereo equiptment.
NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF STUPID PEOPLE IN LARGE GROUPS!
I believe most of the Flim and the BB's CD's were on Tom Jung's DMP label that used a minimal miking technique that was all the "hi fi" rage in the 80's. "Brothers in Arms" by Dire Straits done all digitally was another big test disc in those days. All sounds kind of strident to me today.
