If we're talking about a particularly thick LP with one song per side so as to allow for better dynamic range than the utterly pathetic 70 dB or so of a normal LP that is. And, ofcourse, a turntable with motor-control with absolute world-class stability. Particularly difficult one that... And, ofcourse, a world-class element with a completely new needle to turn the groove into electrical signals without distorting it. And, ofcourse, a world-class phono-amplifier to compensate for the cowardly dynamics of LP versus CD, certainly for anything but classic or jazz. And, ofcourse, a completely new record. And, ofcourse... well, you get the point. Other than that, I agree that CD is significantly worse than SACD ;-) Rene. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
