| Meridian 508.20 or Wadia 830 or Wadia 301???? Well, subtracting all the voodo and whether you want the sound accurate, or if you like colored, its funny but I will tell you this, a Merridian is like being 10 rows back, and sounds nice, but have found the Older Wadias to be superior as it is v... | |
| Sacd/dvd-a, The Hype Is Dead, For Me At Least... Okay.... I agree, drop 10,000 and it better take a step above 5000.00 just not always the case. So be it, if you can get the 8000.00 universal to be as good on all formats and better than an 8000.00 dedicated Redbook even on redbook , more power t... | |
| Sacd/dvd-a, The Hype Is Dead, For Me At Least... Check this out guys, I stole it from another forum, I completly agree Wadia for whatever reason has it right, What is funny is on my Unit it has "INVERT" which essentially plays the disc backwards I guess, not physically but the bits (zero's and O... | |
| Sacd/dvd-a, The Hype Is Dead, For Me At Least... Tvad 99% redbook on an SACD player, or do you have a dedicated seperate?? Just curious not to be argumentative, just would like to know, obviously we cant all get our hands or wallets on top SACD and be able to to have a super extensive collection... | |
| Sacd/dvd-a, The Hype Is Dead, For Me At Least... Oh and, If you are looking to dive into SACD or DVD-A and there is a LARGE or even small scale percentage of discs, lets say at least 20-50 or even 500 titles that have strong interest to you GO FOR IT!! buy a Good universal and ROCK... Its great,... | |
| Sacd/dvd-a, The Hype Is Dead, For Me At Least... Ben_campbell, You caught the Whole point of this forum... I did use some strong words in order to ENGAGE interest in the topic, it is not to say anything is wrong with supporting or denying a certain capability of a format, it was about the Bottom... | |
| Sacd/dvd-a, The Hype Is Dead, For Me At Least... My guess is up to about the 1500.00 range SACD will get any player from redbook, you do have to advance quite a bit to grab the magic from a redbook Cd a little more.. So in the long run you could say Redbook actually cost more money to get right ... | |

| Sacd/dvd-a, The Hype Is Dead, For Me At Least... I have to interject.... SACD is better, fine but agains a 5000.00 Ultimate redbook player??? It may even better it still in certain aspects, but lets go back to the ORIGINAL premise of my thread, I said there are some distinct advantages of SACD, ... | |
| Sacd/dvd-a, The Hype Is Dead, For Me At Least... I am sure Acoustic music and classical in general are far better on a lot of SACD's due to the compression factors on CD, the same as vinyl not haveing that compression effect, but as you put it Processed music is definatly a different animal for ... | |
| Sacd/dvd-a, The Hype Is Dead, For Me At Least... True, sorry.... but I have to say I just decided from the thread to try another comparison, I bought a 2003 release of the Peter gabriel Shaking the tree, a best of kinda compilation, its a remaster I got from best buy yesterday and there is an SA... | |
| Ready to try vinyl Ahh, yeah, NEED CLEANING machine, #1 on the list, it will be huge improvement even on that 60 dollar Plastic sony table with P-mount on Ebay.. But anyway... A good cleaner, Highly suggest the VPI 16.5, will make any table sound like its high end i... | |
| Sacd/dvd-a, The Hype Is Dead, For Me At Least... Only question I have is , Who said it sounds worse then redbook once on this thread? Anyway, my only point was many redbooks that are newer do sound as good as many of the SACD's but not on a Sony player, but on very good redbook machines. I don't... | |
| Sacd/dvd-a, The Hype Is Dead, For Me At Least... No its not bashing, its just getting to the facts of the opposing formats and the advantages and disadvantages, but in 1999 I think SACD had a chance, and CD was a bit lower tier, but recordings now seem to be competing pretty well on standard DVD... | |
| Sacd/dvd-a, The Hype Is Dead, For Me At Least... I can say this, that :Sure Chesky and whoever can lay down Classical and Patricia barber all day, and be succesful on SACD...but for the more mainstream Audiophile it seems that many of the recordings are done on Hi-res just for that reason, to ge... |
