| CD v. SACD Gary, thank you for the clarification. To further some clarification, I do not disagree that the new formats can outperform CD. I had two points/positions within this thread: One, CD can sound good, even excellent, contrary to a comment made that ... | |
| CD v. SACD Gary, I am not sure where you are coming from! I sometimes wonder if some read all things before posting. First of all, if you read the review, you will notice that the reviewers reference player is the SCD-1. Second, your allusions to the "redboo... | |
| CD v. SACD I am not looking to "argue" Nrchy. Why are my opinions unsubstantiated and yours not? I have been quite clear in my comments/opinions; I will state again, I have owned the Sony SCD-1 and it is a good player, but I find the EMC1-UP CD player that I... | |
| CD v. SACD And I will again disagree with you Nrchy about CD's being a "waste of time". | |
| CD v. SACD Natalie, I certainly don't want to be in the argument between the two of you, but a further clarification; my reply to Nrchy was the fact that he believes that CD cannot sound good, I disagree and when I say it was no comparison when I switched fr... | |
| CD v. SACD Nrchy, I wouldn't say CD cannot sound good, you may just not have heard it on a great CD player. We all have our opinions here, but I would not hestitate to put the a good CD player against your SACD player; I have owned the Sony SCD-1 player, it ... | |
| Audio vs. Other Reviews To add to the above, I have also wondered if a reviewer tries a piece and doesn't like it, if they simply do not do a write up on it. | |
| CD v. SACD My .02 cents, from over the past month or so. I have used the Meridian 508.24 for over 4 years, I purchased a Sony SCD-1 a month or so ago; this is built like a tank as has been stated in many places I have read. As far the player itself, I didn't... | |
| CD v. SACD As was prviously stated, there a few other discussions on this.It is a tough call, obviously only you can make the right decision for you, that said, there is nothing wrong with getting a wide range of views from others. There are pros and cons fo... | |
| 20th Anniversary of CD Today I am one of those that is glad there was the invention of the CD.I purchased my first player in '86 I believe, a Sony CPD-45 and I believe my first disc was ZZ-Top, Afterburner.We all have our likes, dislikes, interests and disinterests, LP's are ... | |
| SEPT 11? Amen TWL, Amen. | |
| Any George Winston fans to make suggestions? What about "All The Seasons Of George Winston"? On the BMG Club site, they list the December CD as Remastered. | |
| Someone just dropped cash into your lap Of course the amount can change things, but to give an answer, I would have my SCD-1 SACD/CD player modded. | |
| Stereophile "confirms" Moncrieff's SACD comments ? I thought I would pass along part of Fremer’s conclusion of the DP-85 to keep things in perspective. “In any case, in every performance parameter you can think of, the SACD layer through the DP-85 positively smoked the CD layer through my referenc... | |
| Stereophile "confirms" Moncrieff's SACD comments ? Sean, correct me if wrong, but the numbers from the measurements you quote are from the the CD playback of the Accuphase, not SACD; correct? (At $16.5k this shouldn't be, I am just clarifying things.) |
