Joe, as I'm sure you can appreciate, the difference between CD and stereo SACD, depends on two basic factors: the quality of your system and the title you are comparing. With respect to the system, the more revealing (transparent) it is, the more noticeable is the difference. With respect to the title, it depends on the mastering on the CD and SACD. If the CD was mastered well, the difference may be somewhat subtle, but there will be a difference.
On my mid-range systems, I find the difference between CD and stereo SACD to be, on the whole, significant. CDs can sound quite good, but I nearly always find the corresponding SACDs to have a wider soundstage and to sound "deeper".
