Re: Multichannel ---yeah!

even as Redbook continues to improve, SACD's additional resolution and greater sense of naturalness and venue further separate it from redbook. for me it is getting to the point where my first inclination for simple listening pleasure is a classical SACD.
a recent large system performance boost really made these differences more profound. i added the Oyaide R1 Beryllium duplex AC outlets; these unexpectantly dropped the noisefloor and increased overall system dynamics. it was as if the SACD's became 'supercharged'.....they came alive.

this event has prompted me to add multi-channel hirez to my 2-channel room. when i built the room i installed additional dedicated outlets and conduit in the floor for long cable runs for rear, center and subwoofer channels. i have purchased an EMM Labs Switchman III and have had the 'Phantom Center' option installed. i'm having some long cable runs made. i've bought rear speakers and rear amps. i'm seriously considering a subwoofer for the LFE channel.

within a week or two it should be up and running. it's all based on my perception of how awesome SACD now sounds.

if you can't hear what SACD can do don't blame it on the format.
