Therefore it isn't the system per se IMHO, Ted. It is the quality of the recording technique for which we all know there is a rather distinct disparity! Will some labels ever get it right? Time will tell. And I'm not so sure it is the quality of the master either. Look at 1960 Bill Evans recordings. Recording equipment used now is obviously of a much higher quality and to have those jazz recordings sound so much better than others much more recent whether it be just CD or SACD...And SACD needs to impress IMHO on inexpensive gear to avoid "Joe" from contesting one is listening to superior gear rather than well recorded music.
