Well WM, I believe (perhaps mistakenly) that I have

Am currently listening to a "decent" DVDA/SACD player for comparison purposes. Gives superb performance for the money. Listening to both that and the TT today simply makes me notice the loss of resolution in CD. Sorry guys, I wouldn't have believed it either. It's simply a software issue, and the CD's hardly sound bad in isolation.

Got a used copy of Made In Japan on vinyl today Mint condition import. 3 quid! Compared with the remastered CD, it's soft, seemingly lacking in detail and slam So why the hell did I prefer listening to the bloody music in this format

The SACD of DSOTM is also lacking punch and high end sparkle compared with the CD. Still listened to the whole album with a smile on my face though

I too would be interested to hear from the vinyl guys, how little could I spend to get the experience. I was thinking of breaking up and selling the Orbe/SME/Trichord/Koetsu for around 3K, and spending the proceeds on both a more down to earth TT and a new universal player (both SH of course).
