Re: SACD bombed very, very badly. So,

If you should ever get the chance to hear 7 1/2 ips tape on a quality playback machine (like a Tandberg), you'd agree with me when I say that analog has a long way to go before even breaching the state of the art in sound reproduction. Compared to my VPI TNT Mk 3/JMW10/ATOC9/Vibraplane fed into Classe equipment, the equivalent tapes sound less muddy, more authorative and far more dynamic. I am not willing to make any statements on digital until I hear something like a good quality SACD on the Meitner or Red Book with the Jadis converter. The mass market machines have significant limitations.
