After getting my SACD player and the format was so much better than CD, I decided to hook up my turntable. Analog stomps the SACD's into the dirt. Now I listen to records more than anything. Anyone one else notice this?Sure the SACD player is quiet and has better bass dynamics. It sure doesn't beat an LP for timbre, soundstaging, immediecy and musicality. My system was SACD ready to begin with. Try horns and SETs if you really want to enjoy the music. High end DR speakers and complicated negative feedback amps don't have natural timbre and dynamics and compress the heart and soul out of the music.
