In Reply to: You Doubled The Price For Better CD Playback!! posted by Robertc88 on February 23, 2002 at 08:50:01:
I did double the price because I stepped up to a better dedicated CDP. I enjoy my CD collection very much now. I could have bought a higher-priced SACD player and hope the Redbook playback would be as good, but it's a moot point because the relative paucity of SACD titles doesn't make it a worthwhile investment. There is no question for me that SACD is a superior format but I would rather cater to music than to a format. I found myself doing more legwork to obtain SACD titles and didn't care for a lot of them.-Neil
