After you talked about this SACD before, I went to my CD rack, and guess what? I had a copy of the New Favorites SACD from the days when SACD was new. Along with a Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon and a few others, I do have a couple.....
As I remember from that time period, I could not tell any real difference in SQ from CD to SACD. (I also have the New Favorites CD). I don't know if my ears were not good enough, or if my system was not revealing enough, or what....but I will revisit this. Maybe my SACD player was not of high enough quality. What player are you using Joe? I'll have to see what I have, as my SACD players are not in my system at present.
I do remember that the AKUS recording was extremely good..
