Re: [ARSCLIST] Stereo records.



Hello All,

I'm glad that I'm not imagining stereo bass. What I have that's really impressive is on CD and SACD. Vinyl isn't the greatest for subterranean bass. And consumer R2R tape seems inferior to vinyl in that regard. Doesn't tape roll off pretty fast below 30 Hz?

I'd like some advice on the purchase of a SACD player. I've been reading some glowing reports on that kind of new media sound and wonder if it's worth the price (?) whatever that might be? Are we talking about an expensive investment and does that include a new amplifier/speaker array (mine is currently five, three in front and two surround)? Currently, I love the wide range sound I get with my two 12" woofers, mid-range and tweeter transducers and a separate central channel and the two (side) rear speakers switchably controlled by Dolby Pro Logic (in or out). I'm guessing I'll have to come up with a whole new discrete five to seven channel system (plus speakers) to be able to use the full capability of SACD.

Thanks for all of the knowledgeable comments that I know will be forthcoming.
