Wow Chuck! I can't believe that the only cd's you are purchasing are SACD. Doesn't this limit your choice of selections? I like SACD, but I place the selection of titles and artists far ahead of format. Also, what type of redbook player are you using that makes regular cd's so uninvolving that you no longer purchase them?
SACD - M. Davis - So What
I've just recently moved into the world of SACD.
The Sony DVP 900- with less than 48 hours break in(which may have some influence on what I'm writing).
I've only got the Sony double sampler SACD disc-some of the tracks do sound very good indeed so don't think I'm SACD bashing.
However here is my query for Audiogoners who have Miles Davis Kind Of Blue on SACD-how does it compare to the Mastersound CD( or the normal 20 bit remaster)?
To my weak ears on the only track I can compare the opening So What-the Mastersound sounds much better detailed and weighty in the bass department-I'm really quite surprised since the rest of the sampler disc sounds very good indeed even on older tracks like Santanna and Jeff Beck.
Anybody care to comment on Miles Davis on SACD in general and KOB in particular.
A search on Audio Asylum revealed some very different opinions so I'd be interested to hear Audiogon members view on this.
Thanks,
