IMO, - Esoteric's transport and "better" redbook

implementations showed us that Redbook reproduction and SACD and DVD-A discs, and what plays them back, can still be improved. SACD, DVD-A, and Redbook recordings vary in quality. I have some great recordings in Redbook, - (like Monty Montgomery, Lila Downs and Kevin Johannsen), - that surpass many "average" SACDs and DVD-As. I also have some DVD-As that have been remastered and are a great improvement over the previous recordings of that material. It is pretty rare that I don't find a DVD-A or SACD and some Redbook that are better than their vinyl counterparts; or at least a sub $20K vinyl rig. IMO, - one just can't buy a sub $20K vinyl rig that will compete of your favorite flavor of the top of the line Universal players...

One cannot "blame" SACD and DVD-A failure on a vinyl vs 5" disc quality issue. Rather, it's those 5 or 6 big issues about the value of the music and the lack of interest in acquiring a quality music listening experience..


The problem of leisure, what to do for pleasure. Ideal love a new purchase, a market of the senses. Dream of the perfect life.
