SACD 2 channel vs Redbook 2 Channel

I find that when I listen to sacd I get a better feeling of relaxation, kind of like listening to vinyl. I enjoy listening to cd's, but it just makes me feel a little uptight.. I don't know exactly why. As far as sound is concerned, the most important difference to me is that it sounds less restrained.. it just seems to open up more and sound less like listening to a hi-fi. I feel that it images a lot better than cd also.
It's like having a great, sharp sounding vinyl record that you never have to clean.
I like it so far

It has to do with dynamic range -- CD is compressed compared to
SACD. It also has to do with the filtering used with CD playback
and digital gaps due to the lower sample rate. It has to do with the
significantly lower noise floor of SACD. Has to do with the digital glare of CD which is not audible on SACD.

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.

-IMO

Stehno, what kind of music is available from Red Rose Music?

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.

-IMO
