In Reply to: I enjoy both 24/96 SAD/DAD and SACD. And SACD is even better, more LIVE and RELAXED sounding posted by Teresa on June 21, 2002 at 10:51:01:
ANTILL's Corroboree - Vanguard SACD versus Classic Records 24/96 DVDPosted by Teresa (A) on June 16, 2002 at 18:18:45
ANTILL's Corroboree - Vanguard SACD versus Classic Records 24/96 DVD:I have now listened to both thru Speakers (Infinity Reference Kappa 7's) and Headphones (Sennheiser HD 580).The Discs:
Classic Records DAD 1029 24/96 DAD DVD - ANTILL: Corroboree Suite / GINASTERA: Panambi Suite - Goossens, London Symphony Orchestra - Total Playing Time 38 minutes - $24.99 Retail, purchased from DVD Planet for $18.75.
Everest / Vanguard Classics VSD 512 SACD - ANTILL: Corroboree Suite / VILLA-LOBOS: The Little Train of the Caipira / GINASTERA: Panambi Suite; Estancia Suite - Goossens, London Symphony Orchestra - Total Playing Time 54 minutes - $22.98 Retail, purchased from Allegro for $18.39.
**********************************************************************
The SACD wins hands down, the Bass is fuller and warmer, the timbre is more accurate, and sound stage a little larger. I was expecting it to be the other way around as the Classic Records DAD is an Audiophile Remaster! However, the Classic Records DAD does have more ambiance and transient snap, don't know if it is a difference in Mastering, EQ or difference in the Formats themselves? Any ideas anyone? The 24/96 DAD in one of the best sounding DVDs in my collection, and the SACD is one of the best sounding SACDs in my collection. I HAVE DECIDED TO KEEP BOTH, even though I hate duplication, the mixes are different enough that I can't give one of them up, at least not yet!
