Saw this Sony CD/DVD Player with Super Audio Cd multi channel model DVP-NC685v for
$10 and change, had to grab it. Dont have any SACD discs but music DVD sound and
look great. Also found two nice cd's, Jimi Hendrix Experience remastered and Rolling Stones Hot
Rocks DSD remastered. Bought a good used remote for the CD player on Ebay.

    Well...I'm not sure if it's an SACD, but there's an original master recording, by Mobile Fidelity, of Beck's Sea Change. It's an amazing disc, remastered or not, and the remaster had gotten pretty great reviews.

    I love that album. I've been looking for a decently priced copy of the SACD for a while. They are pricey on eBay.

    You won't be disappointed in the Redbook version done by Mofi. I have both the Redbook and DVD-A of Sea Change and they both sound stellar. LINK

    Have never found any decent records at Goodwill, least not what I wanted to listen to. Get a few CD's
    now and then. I like Pink Floyd and may get the "wish you were here" SACD. Allman Bros. Fillmore East
    should be good too. Thanks.

    Have not had much luck lately but most of my lp"s ce from goodwill and all are near mint. Everything from MoFi to Abbey Road and Just about every group you can think of. At a buck each to boot. I doubt I will ever top the jar mint Sansui AU2000 integrated and the TU9900 tuner I got for 40 bucks...
    The Gear... Carver "Statement" Mono-blocks, Mcintosh C2300 Arcam AVR20, Oppo UDP-203 4K Blu-ray player, Sony XBR70x850B 4k, Polk Audio Legend L800 with height modules, L400 Center Channel Polk audio AB800 "in-wall" surrounds. Marantz MM7025 stereo amp. Simaudio Moon 680d DSD

    What's interesting about the MFSL redbook 24K gold disc (of Beck's Sea Change) is that it's a different mix of the album than the SACD or "normal" CD. I kind of like the alternate mix better than the "normal". The SACD does sound very good, but the MFSL sounds stellar for a redbook CD.

    Also, the MFSL SACD of The Band's "Music From Big Pink" sounds excellent. Along with Roxy Music's "Avalon" although it's pricey now. Pretty much any MFSL SACD sounds good, IMO. Also, a number of the Japanses SHM-SACD's sound very nice such as Steely Dan's "Aja" or Cream's "Wheels Of Fire" to name a couple.

    "I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion." :\
    My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

    At the risk of sounding like a complete fool, can I play redbook discs in a normal CD player?

    Yes, you can. A "redbook disc" is a normal CD.
