You can certainly hear the sound of the master tape - hiss and distortion included.

of listening to the LP on my parent's Curtis Mathis console in the '60's. Fun and nostalgic but not a great hi rez. Honest tape hiss does not bother me as much as somebody trying to remove it
I have both the CD and the SACD, the SACD is better, warts and all
For a 50 year year old recording I wouldn't expect perfection. I'm just trying to please the wife.
My wife loves it. I just thought fantja's comment was peculiar, because the SACD is far from Hi Rez perfection - given the poor quality of the master tape. I have no acquaintance with downloads, but I don't see how it could make much difference in this case.

Easy Jim-
the higher resolution one's system has, older music / recordings' sound will be revealed, hiss & distortion included.
Dave at the Upgrade Company didn't answer my question on the DV-50 - he just pitched his modified Oppo 105D, claiming that it beats the Esoteric separates (which he describes as forward and screechy)! (Look of incredulity on my face.) Looks like I'll just get the DV-50 fixed this winter and soldier on.
Many Thanks! Jim.
Dave should have provided a better rationale than pushing the Oppo?
Keep me posted as you get your DV-50 fixed and back on the battlefield!
