HowdyWhen I first heard SACD it was at an AES show on five very expensive speakers/amps in a great room. It was so amazing that when I got home I bought a Sony SCD-777ES; by far the most expensive piece of audio equipment I'd ever purchased. I hoped that what I heard at the show was SACDness as opposed to what a very expensive system could do. I wasn't disappointed. My daughter and I listened for five or six hours to the SACDs I had also purchased and were enjoying it quite a bit. My system wasn't just the TV speakers: it was a Yamaha surround AV receiver and an inexpensive M&K sat/sub system. When we put in a CD we both just reached for the eject button, Yipes!
I've since learned that CD can sound very good on a great system, but the memory of going back to CD from SACD for the first time is still emblazoned in my mind.
