I have spent over three times the amount of money on my vinyl rig
(VPI Scoutmaster, Shelter 901 Cary PH-302)as I did on my SACD player (Sony XA-777) By all accounts I have a very good vinyl front-end. And yet vinyl performance on my system does not come close to MCH SACD when the best of both are compared. It does come very close to SACD on 2CH but my SACD player still takes the lead. I try to compare the best of both media in order to ensure a comparson of "apples" to "apples".To be honest I wish this were NOT the case. I have many more records than I do SACDs and there is a lot of used vinyl out there in excellent condition. If I bought a Rockport, complete with a Boulder phono preamp would my vinyl front end be better than my SACD player? Probably, but dollar for dollar it's not even close.
Please register and post your system. That way, I can see what equipment you are using to make your comparison and whether you have objectively evaluated high-end discrete MCH sound. This is not a put-down Good music MCH systems, as opposed to HT systems, are few and far between.
