    I love my squeezebox (SB3). I love having my entire music library and playlists at my fingertips. I also love the internet radio capabilities. Highly recommended.

    In terms of music fidelity, SACD is superior. That's why my Diana Krall's "The Look of Love" SACD is usually in my SACD player even though my entire Diana Krall library is accessible from the SB3. However, I do not have my SB3 connected to a DAC.

    Long day at work = SACD + cognac
    House chores = SB3 + Diet Coke



    I truly appreciate the feedback, this will be a christmas gift to myself.

    Using a Pioneer Elite DV-79avi sounds ok with me. Know there's better but... Works for me. ;)

    Good to hear Steve, I am guessing the Pioneer must have a stout remote.;)

    That's on sa-cd.net only. There're many more SACD titles released than the 5,000 listed on that site.

    Joe, since I last suggested some SACDs to you there are now two more that came out that I'd definitely suggest that you consider: Munch's always-exciting Berlioz collection has been very successfully re-mastered for SACD and a new disc of Vaughan Williams' gorgeous harmonies comes out of Atlanta and makes for beautiful listening.

    Roger that. However, that's the only site I know of that lists the majority of them making it more or less the official list in my book.

    Any new info on WYWH?

    "Wish You Were Here" SACD finally launched during the month of April, EMI reported in a press release (no press), which was announced a few weeks ago. Contained alongside the original design, a new design by Thogersom Storm on the original design of 1975. (Some photos I put in my earlier page). The conversion has been directed by James Guthrie welcomed by all 4 members of Pink Floyd. The result is improved over the spectacular; SACD edition of "The Dark Side Of The Moon" in 2003. It works in his presentation possibly in a box that saves the SACD and material relating to the design of home and curiosities from previous editions of the disk.

    Together, in the USA discography replica Japanese vinyl (which has nothing to do with the **** they have appeared in the box of this "Oh By Way" - that is a bad copy) will be launched on May 27 after lots of delays. In Europe it will on 7 July. For more information, wherever it sabe

    Will be released in April; will have the original design plus a new one made by Storm Thogersom from the same ooriginal from 1975 (Says some pictures have been posted already). Remastered by James Guthrie with the approval of the four PF members. The result is spectacular, and even better than the 2003 DSOTM SACD. It will probably be sold in a box that will include elements relative to the cover design and some other stuff.
    At the same time, the Japanese Vinyl (That has nothing to do with that"Oh By Way" ****) will be released after numerous delays on May 27 in the U.S. and on July 7 in Europe.

    I believe the difference between SACD and Redbook is pretty obvious as well. I still wish they had a larger library of music in the areas that I'm most interested in.
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

    please keep moaning, I thought Terre Haute was out of business for SACD but was told that is not the case, they are still being pressed there, in the mean time I am snapping them up where I can, I got a James Taylor Hourglass yesterday gave it a quick listen and SQ is very nice with good dynamics, I think I will head to the Shed with my coffee for little relaxation.

    That's good to know. I've been wondering where Telarc was having its SACDs pressed.

    Just in case anyone wants to know about the latest news on Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" SACD....it was mentioned in an interview with David Gilmour for the current issue of UK's Mojo magazine. When asked whether the SACD of WYWH will ever be released, Dave had the below quote....
    "Yes. But when I last listened to it, there were still problems which need sorting out before we release it."

    You know, my Mastersound gold CD version sounds pretty damn good as I'm sure MillerLiteScott will attest to. Not sure what needs sorting out.

    my interest in sacds is falling every time I buy a new one. It may be because with my sdas, I get such a huge soundstage that the sacds add very little. It may be different with other speakers.

    The soundstage is the least of the differences between redbook and SACD. It's the amount of information brought forth, detail and micro detail, resolution, bass definition and impact, how cymbals actually sound like cymbals and the weight of the music that are but some of the advantages of SACD.
