Hi Paul,
Actually, it seems to be very difficult to schedule a date for this audition and recording session. Mike is a very busy person and it seems he is again in the process of changing speakers. I thought we were going to get together in August, but I haven't heard back from Mike so I expect our get-together might slip into September or October. By that time Mike should have replaced his present Von Schweikert VR 9 speakers with the top-of-the-line VR 11 speakers.
I have no doubt that I will be extremely impressed with Mikeâ€™s system. It is simply one of the finest in the world. The Rockport Sirius III is probably the finest turntable in the world, too. However, the question is whether I can copy the sound of his vinyl front-end onto Redbook digital. Personally, I think I can do that, but I wonâ€™t know for sure until the recording session convenes. At any rate, it should prove to be a lot of fun.
Best regards,
John Elison

I, like Teresa was a rabid SACD fan until I heard vinyl. It took about 3 seconds to realize vinyl was better - jdaniel 08:17:21 07/17/06 ( 0)

Timinator my $629 Music Hall turntable playing the best LPs easily surpasses the sonics of both of my SACD players. - Teresa 20:09:54 07/16/06 ( 0)

- I think that's an excellent recommendation. (nt) - John Elison 21:30:56 07/16/06 ( 0)
There is no such thing as a turntable with the detail and noise level of a decent SACD. Good luck! (nt) - John Elison 18:14:49 07/16/06 ( 22)

    - John have you actually purchased any SACDs and Audiophile LPs of the same titles? - Teresa 01:32:42 07/17/06 ( 6)
      - No, I'm only making an assumption based on the superiority of Redbook to vinyl. (nt) - John Elison 05:00:17 07/17/06 ( 5)
        
        John that's an incorrect assumption as Vinyl is VASTLY superior to redbook CD, only slightly superior to SACD. (nt) - Teresa 17:52:11 07/17/06 ( 1)
        
        Thanks, Teresa. That explains it. I kind of figured as much. ;-) (nt) - John Elison 18:22:02 07/17/06 ( 0)
