In Reply to: SACD compared to Vinyl ? posted by CLE on March 13, 2007 at 07:21:40:
I own over 500 SACDs and I was trying to convince myself they are better than vinyl. I own the incredible VSEI Level 5+ Sony 777 and I now have a Clearaudio Ambient table with a Benz Ebony L cartridge. I keep thinking there will be an SACD I clearly prefer to vinyl, but I have found it to seldom if ever to be the case.If you love Jazz and classic rock there is just so much more vinyl available. I have been shocked at the quality of the LPs I purchase for $2 or less, often they are as good as brand new LPs.
At the moment I am not trying to replace my Classical SACDs. The vinyl is just too expensive and especially the LIving Stereo SACDs are just superb.
