Given that my own preferences are for vinyl and that I think all
'digital' music is crap compared with it, I am, nevertheless,
interested to know why exactly is it that SACDs (stereo) sound so
much better than the equivalent CDs?


Same reason that DVD-Audio discs sound better. They aren't compressed
(dynamic range compression I mean) to within an inch of their life, unlike
most modern CD releases.




Glenn, do you realise you are replying to a post that is two and a half
years old and has the words 'soft troll' in the Subject Line??

I did as soon as I'd posted it...

For some reason the original thread came up at the bottom of the
Thunderbird news window (I have stuff sorted in forward order, newest at
the bottom), and it was probably early in the morning. Knowing me I
probably looked at the day, month... but not the year.

Never mind!
