I certainly do not have a SACD player, nor does the person who started this thread. This discussion was not about a comparison of the 2 formats.
You try so hard to make yourself sound like you know something, that you, my man, appear to be lame. I would like to know how you have time to do all your recording and engineering when you claim on the HT forum that you are a professional HT installer. If you are "in the industry" then apparently, you are better off the less we know and Chris's thread is a perfect example of what I'm talking about.

I really enjoy turning on the lights and seeing roaches scurry for cover. One of the most disengenous things a person can do is to make a statement just ambiguous enough so one could seem knowledgeable, but not specific enough to be pinned down. As illustrated by this comment.

I've done thousands of recordings and I notice that too low will sound thin and sometimes tinny, too high produces distortions, there is a correct zone for a good recording.
Now one could easily conclude that they are talking to a recording engineer from this statement. But alas, this statement comes in the next post.

I said, I have done recordings, I did not say I was an engineer or producer.
What does the words "I have done recordings" mean in this statement. Does it mean 1. You were the musician who was being recorded?
2. You were pretending to be a microphone stand and holding a microphone?
3. You were watching the FOH mixer record a performance?
4. You were trying to appear like you know what recording is all about?

So Mr peabody, what is it for you? I would suspect #4

Another common characteristic of one who has jumped into the water, and realizes that he cannot really swim(in other words they try and interject into a topic for which they know nothing about) is they begin to steer away from the core issue, and throw personal insults as illustrated by this comment;

You try so hard to make yourself sound like you know something, that you, my man, appear to be lame.
First, I do not have to try hard at all to make myself sound like I know something. The proof is in the pudding. You may verify anything that I have said here on the internet. Either you know the information, or you don't. It appears that you don't so you want to try and drag me with you. VERY bad form old chap, this makes you look a little foolish. And the name calling, infantile.

I would like to know how you have time to do all your recording and engineering when you claim on the HT forum that you are a professional HT installer.
Well let's see, there are 24 hours in a day, 7 days in a week. Ahh there is plenty of time.
You mean a person cannot do BOTH? Is it againist the law to work for myself?
This is a rather stupid question that has no relationship with the topic at hand, but I'll answer it anyway. Since I work for myself, I set my own schedule. A recording project can last anywhere from 1 week, to six months. A installation may take 4-6 weeks(or longer depending on the complexity). I work with an interior design person in designing a interior for the theater, then with the architech who makes the blueprints. I hand the blueprints over to the contractor, and if I am doing a recording project I go to work on that. This is called multitasking(since you asked this silly question, you obviously don't know about this yet). I'll bounce back and forth between these projects until they are both finish. If I am doing one OR the other, then the answer is simple.

If you are "in the industry" then apparently, you are better off the less we know and Chris's thread is a perfect example of what I'm talking about.
Another personal insult. Bah! If you knew what you were talking about, you wouldn't have to result to this. How much or how little you know about this industry is up to you. If you choose to know less(and I do not know how that is possible with you, you know less than nothing now) that is your business and has no effect on me. Its seems to me that if you knew more about the industry, you would not be here wining like a baby about something that has been going on for years. So If I am better off the less you know, then I am in damn good shape. You don't know very much now.
