First, stop trying to confuse yourself. This isn't a technology choice. It's a software choice. Where is the music you want to listen to? Vinyl? SACD? No, it's in CDs. A vinyl rig won't play that, and a SACD player won't play it any better than a CD player will (in general). Do you want a vinyl rig? Are you looking forward to spending your weekends at flea markets and garage sales scouring bins for old records? If yes, then definitely go for the vinyl--it's a lot of fun, and there's a helluva lot more LPs out there than there are SACDs. (There may be more LPs out there than there will ever be SACDs.) If not, then maybe you'll have more fun playing with a new technology. But I'll bet you that no matter which way you go, five years from now you'll still have more CDs than anything else.
Going SACD or analog?
I am at the crossroad in choosing new vs old technology. Selling my Sony redbook cdp and going with Sony 777, or investing into the hi-end turntable rig? Have few records, and several hundred of CD's. I listened SACD with Krell and Martin Logan speakers. It was great, but i liked all Linn analog set-up even more. I would have about 3k to spend, which wouldn't be much for an excellent analog set (including phono stage pre) as i am using Sony's volume control with my Plinius 100 mkII. What to do? what to do?
