SACD 2 channel vs Redbook 2 Channel

Overall, I agree with others who have stated SACD is superior.

Of course, it also depends on the quality of the recordings. With that said, I believe that overall SACD playback generally has more warmth, depth, and a tad better resolution.

If I were to limit the improvements to one word, I would use the word 'richer'. As SACD playback seems to consistantly and distinctively have a 'richer' sound over redbook cd.

But you also have to ask, how much of the difference can be attributed to the SACD formatted recording and how much can be attributed to the component itself?

I like Little Milton! Well, at least so far. But in these parts, you're only as good as your last post.

RSBeck, well said. I perceive tho art a diplomat.

Your post above is one of the most straight-forward, calculated, and well-thought out responses I've yet read in these parts of cyberspace.

Anybody listen to the Mark Levinson "Live Recordings at Red Rose Music" SACD? Pretty fabulous recording.

Of course most SACD's are not recorded as well as this one. But it sure beats any of my redbook cd's.

Nrchy, this SACD is a collection of tracks from guests at ML's red rose store a few years ago in DSD for SACD.

TAS and others had commented very highly on the quality of this particular SACD, so I purchased it out of curiousity.

The sonics of at least some of the recordings are second to none.
