Was "lucky' enough to find some John Williams on a Sony
Classical SACD-only disc for just AU$5.00--Cello
Concerto/Elegy for cello etc. Trouble is, the music's
horrible and the SACD sound is not as good as many of my
CDs, This is my first taste of SACD and I'm
disappointed. Admittedly I can only listen in stereo,
but surely I should be hearing some improvement. Anyone
else got this disc?

Oh, the music. Well, it's kind of atonal, but in a
sneaky kind of way, like you wonder why it's annoying
you until you realize it keeps sliding off the note and
there hasn't been a tune in the last ten minutes. I hope
Jenn has heard this music--I'd like her to explain it to
me. I usually like John Williams, but this is music
only a mother could love.

Wow, some counterpoint to Jarry's SACD uber alles posturing?

I do not know why you would expect an improvement
listening to a multichannel recording on two channels.

The essence of SACD is its surround effect. To my
knowledge no one claims any other improvement for it per
se.


Don't read Harry's post much, Ludo?

Or is it that you don't properly comprehend them?
