Your posts just make people even more interested in the thruth. That's good. Very good.
First, comparing CD and SACD is apple and oranges. They are completely different technologies(I am surprised with you extensive knowledge and experience unable to make that judgement) They are also used, and purposed for different environments. CD's are mixed to be played back in a variety of environments(radio, boomboxes, home stereo's, cars, television, satellite radio) with good results. That is not what SACD is produced for. SACD is produced strictly for 5.1 setups, and are best heard in optimum conditions. Based on these facts(and realities) they SHOULD be mixed differently. The CD is a mass market format, SACD is not. Anyone with brain larger than a fly should know this, and understand this. (based on your responses I guess this excludes you)

The truth is, you have no idea what influence this post will have on people, so save your energy by not trying to read peoples minds, and predict their reaction and motivations.
