Of course, you are preaching to the choir....I listen to a SACD system with the incalculable advantage over vinyl of well done multi-channel. And though my vinyl rig is no slouch (SME/10, Koetsu Black, Music Reference phono pre) it cannot stand the pressure laid on it by my multi-channel system using the same speakers and amps. I had not mentioned the multi-channel advantage thus far in this thread as I was trying to maintain a decorum of "fairness". Ha! But you are absolutely right. When you are going up against something that's good (vinyl) you counter with the best you got: SACD multi-channel.
You are correct, by a wide margin, most of my collection of roughly 1500+ SACDs is classical. But I do have dozens of multi-channel jazz, and a few R&B and rock, too. But just one Bob Marley, "Young Mystic", that is two-channel.
I have comments on 44 SACDs over at SA-CD.net. Ten are multi-channel jazz. Six are R&B or rock.
