...as I and many others have often noted, it really can be difficult to determine the difference between system limitations and format limitations when listening to music using whatever might have been on sale at Circuit City or Best Buy when the urge to buy a new player hit. I recall several plateaus in the evolution of my system where I really thought I had to be about 85 percent of the way "there." The more progress I've made since then, the more I realize that I might never make it even that far.Contrary to what many people think, it really does take a fairly decent system to fully assess the limitations of even RBCD. That's not saying it takes an expensive system, just one in which the components have been thoughtfully selected and properly set up.
One really doesn't have to spend a lot of money to get satisfyingly good sound from vinyl, but I'll bet that even 99 percent of people still listening regularly to LPs aren't fully aware of what that format is capable of providing via a SOTA TT and cartridge. And for those that are aware of the difference great hardware can make with the LPs they've been tuning their ears to for 30 or 40 years, there's just no excuse for their prejudiced dismissal of SACD after two or three years of randomly token sampling recordings played on mass market players.
