FYI, I used to own an LP playback system but fell to the "perfect sound forever" dupe. I transferred all my LPs to tape and ditched my Thorens. But, in the last few years before SACD, I had considered going back to analog so, yes, I did some homework.
Furthermore, my original post titled "Not so fast..." compared SACD to vinyl - not CD to vinyl. I readily admit that ALL THINGS BEING EQUAL, vinyl sounds significantly better than redbook CDs. The only thing that redbook CDs have over vinyl is their convenience - which is why I still listen to CDs - not vinyl; and probably the reason why vinyl died and CDs fostered. Joe Six-pack likes his convenience.
But as far as SACD is concerned, the gap is much narrower, if not closed, based on my experience in listening to SACD in the last year. My original point was that, if SACD is here to stay, it is going to be very hard to beat considering it gives you 90-100% of analog sound PLUS the convenience of CD.
respectfully,
ASPS. Don't worry. I'm not in L.A. where I'm sure you could drive for miles upon miles and find $.50 vinyl LPs along the way. Enjoy the drive! I will, meanwhile, be sitting back listening to that shiney disc.
