  Sony SCD-CE595 (analog), Oppo 980H (HDMI), LG BH200 (Blu-Ray/HD-DVD over HDMI)
Onkyo TX-SR605
Polk Audio RM6750 5.1 speaker set.

Usually use the Sony for SACD since the Onkyo can't decode DSD. The Oppo I use mainly as a utility player.

I'm guessing this is the 1960 stereo recording, and not the earlier mono recordings DG also released on the "Originals" banner, with Sanderling replacing Mravinsky on the 4th? ... more
Which artist or album would YOU like to see released on SA-CD?
