average stereo ($2,000?) where people can consistently tell the same SACD from its CD counterpart. This has all been hacked to death with false starts about "how good the Stones sound", so let's not make the same mistakes.
A nice AB showing verifiable improvement in sound.
That's all I ask.
My hearing is back 100% and I am ready for someone to tell me which SACD sounds noticeably better than its identical redbook counterpart. Which passage? What do I listen for that is different\better? Can I hear a bell I cannot hear on the CD?SHOW ME DA MONEY!
