Consumer SACD/DVD-A worth it?

Sacd is worth it, period. I was a true vinyl junkie for over 20 years, and still love it. I sat out the entire life of CD because of its poor sound. However, vinyl has major problems too. Poor recordings are poor on vinyl,CD, or whatever, but great ones are great on vinyl and not on CD. The main problem with vinyl is wear. The really great recordings made in the '50's (Merc.Living Presence, RCA LSP series) have to be bought used. I had 200 of these albums that took 10 years to find. The wear was horrible and these were the best I could find in an entire USA personal tour of used record shops and swap meets. You can't get the perfect vinyl that you need to make records sound like they are capable of with a good player. Oh yeah, you'll get lucky and find some, but mostly shaved off highs and lots of pops and scratches is what you'll get. CD's just never made it because they lack the necessary information on the disc, it's as simple as that. That's why vinyl sounded better. Now SACD has got the digital thing right. Still not perfect, but way better than CD and better than the "typical" vinyl that you can really get. It is VERY close to perfect vinyl on a high end turntable. Granted, the titles are limited now, but they will increase. The reason the Pioneer player previously referred to didn't sound good is that the Pioneer reconverts the SACD to PCM before outputting to the analog stage, therefore ruining the sound. I have a Sony DVP s9000es SACD unit and it sounds great. I'm running it through an OTL tube amp and single driver speakers. For sound, value, and practicality, it beats vinyl, wipes out CD, and plays real music. Buy one now and start enjoying.
