Found this 55" Samsung today on Amazon....

Looks like they are dumping older (2019) stock... I'll use this one to rotate out an old Visio.

    Good deal I'd say. I'm amazed at how much TV you can get these days for under $500.
    Yep, my name really is Bob.

    Are those SACD or reg CD ? Amazon always seems to just say "audio CD" I see below it states hybrid.

    It seems awfully cheap for a SACD 50th anniversary edition.

    Why does this one say "Hybrid SACD" but it is $37.82. I'm thinking maybe the other one is a misprint on the $13.42 price, or perhaps it isn't hybrid SACD?

    I ordered one. The materials show a Japanese SACD. If it’s not, it goes back.

    I wouldn't mind having one of those in SACD at that price except I no longer have a Amazon account after they screwed me over. I'll not set up another.

    I bought the 50" version of that TV in January for $348 from Wallyworld. Nice picture and it's very "smart". Did away with my Roku because everything I need is on the TV.

    Just for giggles put in the player and see if SACD come up. Most all stones are DSD recorded but that doesn't mean they are SACD.



    Awesome I think I have one coming from @gudnoyez here soon.

    The disc is a fake. My Krell will only read the CD layer, same as the Oppo. I have already generated a return label and suggest the rest of you cancel the order.

    Strange, My Oppo plays SACD layer.

    Well you received an SACD John did not.
    I'm hoping crossed finger mine shows up as SACD.

    Thanks for chiming in chumlie.
    I was wondering if you actually had a SACD player or were going off the labeling. Since the Rolling Stones remastered their stuff in DSD the regular CDs can be confusing.

    The Krell is reading CD layer only.... the Oppo is fine, just needed adjustment.

    Seems I got sold a Krell POS.

    So oppo did read SACD then?
    Maybe then the Krell is out of adjustment.
    Which Oppo do you have?
    How did you adjust the laser?

    Adjustment was perhaps the wrong word. It was in the menu that I needed to fix, not an actual physical repair.

    The Krell on the other hand, the seller is not responding to my messages. I might need to dispute the sale with Amex to get his attention.

    Survey Says SACD, on the Marantz, The Oppo, and both Sony Players. No need for adjustments. John sounds like you got some equipment issues, glad I didnt send this baby back like you suggested, for under $ 14 a most excellent buy sounds friggin fantastic.

    I just told my friend with an Oppo that he got for $35 in a second hand store that needs testing with a SACD, that it's back on! I had to tell him not to buy and he was disappointed.
