SACD vs ANALOG
Oh, above I meant to say, "I have more LPs than CDs."-Let me repeat, it's time to move away from the 20 year old first generation--CDs. I do not understand those who support, "CD sound forever!" 
SACD vs ANALOG
Edle,Why SACD when we have LP? I have more LPs and CDs, and only about 12 SACDs (and 4 on order). I probably will die with my LPs, but CDs and SACDs have many advantages over LPs.1. Longer playing time.2. Don't have to flip them at the half way po... 
SACD vs ANALOG
My TT (Rega) cost a little less than my S9000ES, but my S9000ES delivers more dynamic and accurate sound than my TT with CDs or SACDs. It has also improved the audio on my DVDs. I have a HT system. I love my S9000ES and SACD.There are so many form... 
Sony 900ES SACD sound vs CD - Help
I haven't experienced this, nor do I recall anyone else reporting it. 
Who has actually listened to DVD audio?
I bought two DVD-A players and returned both--the Panasonic A7 and JVC723GD. I then tried the S9000ES, and kept it. It's CD, DVD-V audio, and SACD play was superior to anything I ever brought.DVD-A is a step forward from 16/44 CDs. I suspect that ... 
How good is MSB Link III?
Kitty, I also had the Sony DVP-300 DVD player (I guess it's now the $250 Sony 360). The audio sound of CDs and DVDs on my Sony S9000ES is so much better than with some of the $600 DVD players I tried, and my own Sony 300. Both the CDs and DVDs are... 
necessity of 24/96 w/out dvd-audio...?
Some feel there is a slight advantage of having quicker DACs with 44/16 CDs. The DACS don't struggle to convert the materials. If you never drive above 65, why buy a car that can go 120? Would a car that can only do 70 be as good?I have a Rotel 98... 
Which is better: separates or receiver?
I have separates. Over the past 5-7 years, I've upgraded my stereo system to about a $8,000 HT system.A couple of years ago, I wanted to move to a Dolby digital system. I went to Circuit City and told them I wanted to buy their best AV Receiver. T... 
Sony 900ES SACD sound vs CD - Help
I made an error. The Pioneer 37 DOES have progressive video. It is an excellent CD and DVD player for a reasonable price. It doesn't have DVD-Audio or SACD. 
Sony 900ES SACD sound vs CD - Help
Martice,I do not have the money to spend on audio that some people find, but more than others. I have a quality system: Legacy Focus speakers ($5,400), M1rage OM-2 center ($700), Mirage rears, Velodyne sub, Rotel pre-pre 985 ($2K), three PSE amps ... 
Multi-channel Sony SACD player
Martice,You're right. If there's no software, the hardware is useless. For me, I have purchased 12-14 (I lost count) SACD and I've developed a list of over 25 more I plan to buy. I just do not want to buy them all at one time. I also expect SACD s... 
Multi-channel Sony SACD player
I do not think there ever be any multi-channel SACD movies, or DVD-Audio movies. Movies are either in DPL, DD, or DTS.SACD, which stands for Super Audio CD, is for music, and is intended to be a better CD. You can play dual-layer SACDS in your car... 
SACD/DVD Audio Combi Players?
Right now, do not buy a Sony at list price. The $5,000 SCD-1 is sold in the low to mid $3,000. The $3,500 SCD-777 is being sold for around $1700. The $1,500 list S9000ES DVD/CD/SACD player is still hard to find discounted, but some have mailordere... 
DVD upgrade
For many the Sony 7000 has been the standard to measure everything by--video and audio. Yes, I've seen it--many times. Most highend stores had it: both to sell but also to show off their other items (projection TVs, etc.) Note that in most magazin... 
DVD upgrade
I needed to upgrade my Sony DV-300. I also did not need progressive video and wanted to spend less than $600. I listened/watched everything I could find in the DC area. I took 3 units home. I ended up buying a $1300 Sony S9000ES with progressive v...
