Its just the SACD is just a tad more transparent. I thought about selling the Marantz 6001 and getting the SA8001 or SA8003 but just adding new interconnects to the 6001 gave it a new level of performance. I had cheap cables at first. But sense I already have the Marantz and a few SACD's I might as well keep it. I've seen some wonderful stuff on the Concord label and now I think I'll give them a shot. Thanks for bringing your expertise.

Too bad you don't have a 5.1 setup. That's really where you hear the difference with the SACD track. The two-channel SACD tracks on the Concord Jazz releases use the original stereo master tape, and don't really clean up the processing.
