Notice how many SACD collections for sale?

What great responses. I have been listening to the Ayre C5Xe with both SACD and redbook CD. I took several twin copies I have on both SACD and redbook and did a comparison on the AYRE C5. SACD absolutely sounds better than the same redbook disc. On Brubeck's 'take five' the cymbal's have the drumstick to metal transient attack with the SACD. I only get the cymbal tones (softer attack) on redbook. I have had many similar experiences with other titles and SACD always sounds better to me. I plan on buying many more SACD's!

Hififile, I have Take Five on 45 rpm LP and have done a RealityCheck copy. Both are better than my SACD.

For me SACD may survive as a format in that it sounds more like vinyl, it has that relaxed yet lively invigorating quality of real musicians making real music and that's a nice thing. Happy listening!

I think realitycheck needs a realitycheck.

Tbg, did you buy the RC machine or do you get it done for extra $$. I do understand that the RC process does take some extra effort.
