SACD 2 channel vs Redbook 2 Channel

Ritteri- Look into Emm labs(aka Meitner) it offers exactly what you claimed doesn't exist. And yes SACD's(for the most part) sound MUCH better then any redbook cd I have ever heard from any high end cd player. Compare Sonny Rollins- Saxaphone Colossus or Way out West on any redbook version(including XRCD2) vs. analogue productions SACD- the sacd offers more detail, its no single bell or whistle but the whole piece sounds closer to that "you are there" sound. Another example Offenbach: Gaite Parisienne, Fiedler/boston pops- the SACD version is almost surreal! And the original in living stereo version was good, the XRCD took it to yet another level and the SACD elevates the listening experience even further. Don't get me started on Peter Gabriel, Beck, The Police, Allison Krauss, Roxy Music, anything from Mobile Fidelity. I could go on and on with specific examples if you would like but suffice to say I would not have invested in SACD had I not heard the difference. Its more then merely new mastering, if that were the case new remasters of redbook discs would impress me the way SACD's do- but they don't.

I had full intentions of staying out of this thread, but the misinformation and ASSUMPTION from a lot of people finally got to me.

Ritteri- Check out http://www.sacdinfo.com there are well over 1500 SACD's available at this time and that's just what is in the database, Stephen(the founder of SACDinfo) is always behind and can't keep up with all of the SACD's coming out. You really should stop making assumptions that you know everything audio because in addition to this thread there is at least one more that you are way off base on- i.e. engaging in arguements you clearly do not have all of the facts.

As a side note- seeing as SACD isn't taking off I felt I should share that I got a free SACD sampler disc in with my Rolling Stone magazine this month! So it simply must not be catching on since they've had full page ads for at least 6 months and now a free sampler disc ¤eyeroll¤ oh yea it doesn't sound any better either.

Ok now take everything I typed out of context and tell me that I am wrong, that would really be beneficial to everyone here- or at least you could take your foot out of YOUR mouth!

Ritteri- Again your making assumpthions that you don't have all of the fact's I know people in the USA who have over 1000 SACD's personally- so again you are WRONG just deal with it and move on! Here is just one store and they have currently 959 available SACD titles http://www.amusicdirect.com/products/swsearch.asp?dmSearchBy=category&srch=30.

My size 13 Prada's will remain on the floor and not going any where near my mouth- why don't you try and gather facts before pontificating nonsense to us all.
