Given that my own preferences are for vinyl and that I think all

why
exactly is it that SACDs (stereo) sound so much better than the
equivalent
CDs?

There's any number of reasons, but I'm inclined to believe that
significant differences would result from better mastering on the SACD.


OK, I'm specifically talking about a couple of hybrid disks played on my (no
longer) Sony SCD-XB940 CD/SACD Player, where you could literally 'back to
back' the two (stereo) modes via the Remote Control. (Ie start and play any
given track in either 'mode') All who heard them picked the SACD as the
better sound every time. IIRC, this was 100% - no exceptions.......
