Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

It`s not just the available titles on SACD which put me off, but the rate of release and lack of smaller/non audiophile labels which could afford the technology.

My most played disc at the moment is by a little known guy called Bebo Norman which is excellent sound quality - even has HDCD - but I doubt we`ll ever see it on hi-rez.
Also just released for the first time in it`s entirety is Stevie Ray Vaughan`s 1982 international debut at Montreaux on double CD for just £10.99 - these are the obscure recordings I treasure because on a high-end CD player the sound is extremely involving even if the actual recordings aren`t of audiophile quality.

I`m frequently jotting down names of artists after hearing them on the radio - Bob Harris is a goldmine - I`m frequently searching ebay.com and Amazon.com for such artists or song titles, and have discovered some real gems - best case scenario with SACD and it`ll still be many years before I`d be happy replacing my Transport and DAC with an SACD player, and I simply can`t afford to buy one (at least not a high-end SACD player, ie Marantz SA-1) without selling the other.

Best Regards,
Chris Redmond.
