Another sign SACD is dying


I went to Best Buy to purchase some SACDs and after searching for the special section containing sacds and xrcds without success, I asked the salesman where they were. He informed me that they were all removed since dual disc is now the rage. WOW!

>>So, I guess your point is that SACD's will be available for a long time?<<

LOL but yes they may be around for a long time but not as the format of choice.
Longevity is no indicator of superior performance. If that were the case my 69 Olds 442 would kick a new Mustang GT's butt in the 1/4 mile. Guess what? Not!!
The popularity of 8 tracks, beta and all of the other outdated formats (including SACD soon) is based primarily on nostalgia. Many folks find comfort in the past. I hope that helps you understand better.
>>We all should be focusing on topics of promoting how good and beneficial SACD is<<

"We" should? Why? Are "we" in the trade?

>>Maybe the target audience is less, but it is not a sign of dying.<<

???????? Really?

>>I liked this format so much that instead of buying a universal player, I purchased a SACD only player.<<

Tons of folks liked Beta too and we all know that history.
>>Have you been to MusicDirect and see How many SACD
they are selling?

My local Chevrolet dealer has a lot of Chevrolets for sale but I have no idea how many he is actually selling. Nice try though.
I enjoy your posts as well.
