BTW, if I listen to my budget line array at low to normal listening level {medium to

high level for non array folks //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif }, using ordinary pro audio gear, they disappear

too... But if I crank higher SPL, people will know what is beating up their azz................. hehe

K thanks great happy for you....

You enjoy making every thread into a pro line array thread don't you?

POP music sux .. so why go the extra mile for SQ ............. lol

Whether pop music sux or not isn't the point. Point is they charge the going rate (too damn much) for a cd it should be atleast close to the potential of the format.

People like to blame CD technology as being inferior to vinyl but everyoneforgets about the recording methodology. I have great CD's and bad ones,

it's not the CD that's to blame. I also have some SACD and DVDA. IMO, over-rated formats.

Me personally, I have never blamed the format. Like I said in my earlier post its the recording engineers (and the corner cutting record labels that won't pay him to do a good job) that are to blame for CD not being the best it can be. As far as SACD and DVDA are concerned I don't think you can say they're over rated when both formats pretty much tanked commercially. I will say that they didn't offer enough of difference in sound over cd to sway the masses to convert.

I have both CD versions and DVD-Audio/SACD versions of CD's. With my Arcam CD Player you can't tell the difference between a DVDA or SACD and the CD. But, with a shitty CD player like my DVD player or my XBox you can tell a difference. So, really there isn't that big of a difference. Hence why my SACD/DVDA collection is so small....

Well, I don't have an Arcam cd player. I just have a Denon universal player. I can tell the difference between my Hotel California DVD-Audio and the CD counterpart. I know I don't have the same calibur equipment you have (especially speakers) but it is NOT low end either. I will admit however that there isn't enough of a difference which is why these formats never really took hold. My SACD/DVD-A collection is small too.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

It was funny, because I didn't believe him.

But I closed my eyes, and he periodically switched back and forth b/w the two sources.

I actually liked the CD version better in the blind test.

Lawl.

I find it rather hard to find albums I want on the SACD/DVD-A formats....

Denon Universal players are pretty good, but a dedicated CD player will sound better almost always. (People are going to disagree with me on that one)

What do you run for speakers?

I'm gonna buy the Oppo universal player for SACDs only $149 and it'll get the job done //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

Mirage. I bought them in 1993.

And for the record my Universal player model is DVD-3910. It was the next one down from the flagship.

I wouldn't hold my breath, I have seen a few people be a bit unhappy with the player. You get what you pay for. Not saying it's a bad player but it's budget...
