Unfortunately, for many it may well be what its all about, however for myself (and I assume others as well who may not visit the net as much) that may no be so.I bought an audio system to listen to music in the home, music I would not ordinarily be able to hear at concerts etc. This led me to my secondary interest of audio. While I play around with audio, music is my real hobby, not the latest trend or format in audio. I will cede to you that great audio can make listening more pleasurable but I don't buy/listen to music just because it might sound good, audio wise, if the performance isn't top rate, or at least in a manner that I enjoy.
If the performance is top rate I'll listen to it any way I can. As it stands right now there is not enuf SACD music that is not duplicative of stuff I own on LP's or RB that warrants a SACD purchase.
I'm happy that you have found, by your description, a modest audio system with which you can hear great RB and SACD from a $1500 player. Its so hard to find a great redbook player for $1500, let alone one that includes SACD. Congradulations! Perhaps you should identify this player, and your components as well so like minded folks can benefit from your experience and save a lot of time and money.
I'm sure that in an earlier 'audio life' I would have taken equal pleasure in adopting your style and editorializing about your choices in selecting audio equipment and informing you of the better choices available to you had you exercised better judgment. But life is too short, thats not where I'm at! :-)
