Cornfedboy, thanks for the suggestion. I will check it out and it seems that the probability of SACD going bust is greater than zero percent. I guess the one good thing about format confusion is that the prices of a lot of nifty gear will eventually crash. Do you think the Accuphase would sound better than, say, a Levinson 30.5/31.5 with ordinary CDs? (By the way, CFB, I read and enjoy all of your posts and I would appreciate your advice on something off the record if you could write to my e-mail address. Thanks.)
Best SACD player?
With prices crashing and new models being announced, is there any consensus on the "best" hard core audiophile SACD player? Are the "best" players equally successful with standard CDs? I am still disappointed at the availablility of SACD software, but in my experience these things sound pretty good. I would be especially delighted to hear that the old $5000 Sony monster is the one and is now very cheap.
