CD vs. SACD vs. DVD-Audio vs Vinyl vs...


Which format do you like the most, or find to be the closest to the original master tapes? Or, if you attend live concerts (or play and instrument), which format do you prefer and why?

Carl, I wouldn't call spraying a dash of Armor All on a cushion stupid. At the time I wasn't certain it was leather and thought it was probably vinyl, besides at 20 years old when a girl was coming over any minute I would use just about anything to clean up a bit when rushing. I would love to buy a decent CD player now, but I feel that I can live with my Sony DVD-S7700 and my CDP-CA9 ES until multi- format SACD,DVD-A players become available. Do you think that Vibra Pods would help a bit? Have you heard Harmonic Technology cables?
BMP, I've borrowed Harmonic Technology cables, and have them right now. They need to go back soon. Which ones are you curious about? You don't seem to be interested in my other suggestions, so I don't know why you'd think I knew about these cables. I'm not experienced with Vibra Pods, but I'm sure they'd help at least a little. I use AQ Little Feet, and they work great. And if you didn't know the chair was leather, that's different.
For the record, I humble myself before Albert Porter, specifically regarding power cords for my power amp. He was right, and I was wrong FOR SURE!
Hi Bmp; Vibrapods are a tremendous product, especially when placed under digital components and pre-amps. I liked them so much I put them under EVERYTHING except my big DNA-2DX amp which already has good vibration control. Clarity and dynamics improved across the whole music spectrum, including tighter bass. I'm even considering putting them under my rather stiff speaker cables.
Carl, You should follow your "14 years of expereinece with using Armor All on plastics and rubber, and it always elimated the aging process (cleans and makes it shine too)altogether, Zero" and clean your vinyl collection with Armor All. Afterall it is only logical since vinyl is in the plastics family and Armor All is so good, as you say, for ruber and plastics. PS I have always enjoyed washing my cars although its far ranks below many other pleasures. Congrats on buying the Argenta @ Music Directs close out price. Lets read you thoughts about it after you play it. Is that before or after the Armor All application? Gerrym5
