In Reply to: Munch: Saint-Saens Organ Symphony shoot-out--SACD vs. LP vs. open-reel tape posted by bublitchki on October 8, 2004 at 04:26:37:
I am thankful to get these SACDs but they aren't as good as they could have been if they had used good old tubes.I have a second point though. I looked hard for good copies of most of these for years on LP. Often I ended up with noisy pressings or warps, or ticks and pops. I aso often found after buying them that I had not gotten the orginal recordings but some latter pressing that in many cases was compressed and just lousy.
Third if your listening on an unmodded SCD-1 you have not heard a fare comparison to your vynal rig.
Fouth the tape may sound more like real life. Ever time I go to a live performance I am struck by the lack of audiophile high frequencies.
Firth you may be right that vynal adds something in presences and I think subtracks something in detail that alows us to fall in love with it over accuracy.
