Pro-CD bias

When anyone on any forum suggests that CDs sound as good or better than SACDs, I know it is Pro-CD bias.  Why?  Because anyone with a working pair of ears on their heads can hear the DRASTIC sonic differences between the two formats.  SACD not only offers greatly increased resolution but also a greater comfort level which has turned digital from uncomfortable and sometimes downright unlistenable to highly listenable and enjoyable.  

This is true from the most basic 2 channel stereo set-up to the most extravagant multi-channel megabuck sound system.  The Korg portable DSD recorders prove that DSD is vastly superior to any resolution of PCM through an iPod using decent headphones.

I would be willing to bet that even with boom-boxes that the smoothness and listenability of SACD over CD would also be easy to discern.   There is not a single situation in the entire world in which a CD would ever sound as good as an SACD.  And some of these yahoo's actually claim CD sounds better, either absolute and pure insanity or bald-faced lies due to Pro-CD bias. 

Financial bias
The listener is afraid of the financial loss in selling their CDs and replacing them with SACDs.
Reviewer bias
The reviewer is afraid of losing their supply of free review CD copies and hide the truth about the superior sound quality of SACDs. 

Equipment Manufacture bias
The poster is a manufacturer of high-end CD transports and players and is protecting his or her income.

CD Manufacture bias
The poster is an owner of a record company that only releases CDs.

I short do not fall for Pro-CD bias!   In time you will be able to recognize and reveal these impostors for who they really are and their lies will die with their damaging words.
