I've been buying Telarc CDs dirt cheap between $1.00 - $5.00.I would never believe a low resolution redbook CD could not only actually be listenable but also sound this good. Did Yamaha perform a small miracle? Or all the new players for 2007 this good with CDs? Was there some major advance in chips this year? This player premiered at CES this year. I would not believe it if I didn't hear it with my own ears. And I still really don't believe it; it is just too fantastic. The very idea that CDs could not only be pain free but enjoyable as well. It is heresy. And I would not blame anyone for not believing me.
I haven't heard any non-Telarc CDs yet, but I will check some out of the library this weekend.
SACD and CD are likely to remain a diversion as I first thing I wanted to hear when I got home was Felix Slatkin's Fantastic Percussion on Liberty / Bel Canto Real Time duplicated 7 1/2 IPS Reel to Reel tape. But I will try to squeeze in an SACD later this evening.
