Ted, your missing my point. Provided that the CD and SACD of the same title are made from the same master tape, the SACD can never be a better "recording" since they are from the same original session / tape. For our practical purposes, the master is the recording. Or do the makers of some of your SACDs have access to a source tape that the rest of us do not? Mind you, this does not consider CDs made from 2nd or 3rd generation tapes of which there are many.Better ultimate sound for the SACDs versus the CD of any recording? Most probably yes. We'll both agree that SACD medium is a more transparent medium. That leaves us with the other variable. The fact that any SACD being put out most probably uses the original master recording and the uses the best available mastering facilities available for their project. These two variables are responsible for the better sound heard, not the original recording.
Legal disclaimer: These comparisons are only valid on the same playback deck and system.
