| The plight of SACD.... Hi Troglodyt let's analize your post...Have fun with 16/44.1.(let's start my rant with some sarcasm)"You already got the best you're gonna get. The joke was played 22 years ago. Alot fell for it, and some didn't. I didn't think the joke was funny ... | |
| The plight of SACD.... "If they can't get digital to sound better than vinyl after 22 years, and they can't get a higher resolution format to do it either, then they ain't gonna do "Obviously you've been spending too much time scrubbing all the dirt off your 12'' party ... | |

| Metronome any Good? I demoed this player at a dealer set-up with an Krell amp(#?)& ARC pre-ampRef. thru Wilson puppys.I didn't like the sound at all. It sounded just o.k. ,not a real involving player for me.The build quality of the tray is rather flimsy for the p... | |
| CD v. SACD I agree with Tonyp54,get a good hi-end cd player ,it'll last for years,do justice to your redbooks and you'll never be in a state of constant "wanting or anxiety"about the next new Sacd release. With all the software available now you'll be focusi... | |
| Meridian or Audio Research - Weigh in Please I agree strongly that if you can swing the $ for the cd3 you won't regret it .Absolutley one of the best sounding players you could get.Wouldn't even consider a SACD since the software will never approach the volume of titiles available in the red... | |
