SACD has no ticks, hiss or pops like many records do after some time. In my experience, the bass response of SACD is tighter than that of vinyl, the highs are more defined, and there seems to be more coherence. Certainly more dynamics in the music.
I recently listened to Kind of Blue by Miles Davis on LP, CD, remastered CD and Super Audio CD. I liked the super audio CD best, followed by the LP then the re-mastered CD. Did not care for the original CD release, which just mist the 'feeling'. This has to be one of the least impressive SACD's I own, so I was pretty impressed by that.
