SACD VS Vinyl for Jazz and Classical


Well, I've been thinking of getting into vinyl for a while now but still haven't done it. I'm generally rather selective about my SACD purchases and only have about 25-30SACD recordings now although I plan to order a lot more as more and more reissues come out. I listen to mostly jazz and getting into classical a lot more. So before I buy any more SACD reissues of classic jazz and classical recordings, which seems to be available as new vinyl albeit at a much higher price, I was wondering if I should get into vinyl and purchase the vinyl versions instead if it's going to sound better and more like real music.

I know this topic has been discussed to death. But in my situation, where I have no LP collection but also not a substantial digital collection either, and the majority of my purchases will be reissues, will there be enough new vinyl available? Again, because of high costs I do tend to be selective. On another note, do LP version popular music such as Alicia Keys and Diana Krall sound better than its CD and SACD versions?

My 2 cents.vinyl addiction is more like religion.There is no way to convince them of the quality of sound you can get from top notch digital system. More to the point ,as I mentioned in previous threads a great red book player can outdo most sacd players.ie my Reimyo 777 sounds better than my sony xa9000es on hybrid sacd. Some classical sacd are by far inferior to some of the excellent redbook.For jazz try the jvc XRCD they are very good.My recommendation spend your money on the top digital front end and stay away from vinyl.
