As good as the SA-KI-Pearl was, the Playback bettered it in every way—as it should for five times the price ($15,000)—and regardless of what the measurements show, which might just be that the Pearl measures better. The Playback sounded faster, tighter, more resolving, better extended, and more expressive, particularly on the bottom. It managed to pull more detail from every disc, with greater clarity and authority, despite John Atkinson's measurements of its noise, which indicate that it doesn't do better than 16-bit resolution. I have no explanation, other than to say that I was in a great mood while listening to both players—and, yes, I did match their output levels, and I did stare down the railroad track and see the rails come to a point (but I know—they really don't)
