Yes “The Window†is an excellent SACD from a DSD master. I never said SACD or DVD-Audio was not very realistic sounding and I prefer them to LPs. But they do not yet have the resolution available from the best audiophile LPs on state of the art turntables using excellent moving coil cartridges.What I hate about LPs:
1) Surface noise
2) Pops and ticks
3) Warps
4) End of groove distortion on LPs cut too close to the label
5) Constant cleaning of LPs
6) Cleaning of the stylus
7) Having to jump up at the end of an LP side to remove the tone arm before it hits the lead out groove.What I love about LPs:
1) Resolution! The most realistic sound I have ever heard comes from Pure analog audiophile LPs, sharp transient attacks, warm, deep and full bass and the beautiful delicacy of high percussion instruments, etc.When I talk about "resolution" I mean "resolution" as I believe someday Digital (PCM or DSD) will be able to resolve this extra musical information. Until then Vinyl has more resolution than any digital format but there is always hope for the future.
Happy listening,
Teresa
