New high resolution SACD releases, players and technology.

You may be short-changing the tape version

Two potential issues here: the highs could have been shaved off the tape by playing it with even slightly magnetized heads. Or the tape heads are a bit misaligned.

'Course it could have been a bad tape to begin with. Some of my RCAs are.

Fascinating comparison, though. I have the new Reiner SACD "Pictures at an Exhibition" and it is easily bested by a nearly 50-year-old LP. And the LP isn't even the original US pressing but an Italian-label RCA pressed in Germany!
