On the eve of 2003, WHERE'S THE MUSIC?
With all disrespect, how many music lovers are satisfied with the assortment of titles available on SACD (or DVD-A) as of December 31, 2002?
It reminds me of a joke that the owner of Wilson Audio supposedly used to tell. He claimed that he sold a $150,000 WAMM system to a well-to-do farmer in Nebraska who only owned 15 albums, 6 of them by Conway Twitty... and those were the good ones.
Personally, "Tony Bennett Unplugged" and Eugene Ormandy conducting the Cleveland Orchestra aren't my idea of great music in any format. Last time I looked, EVERY SINGLE ONE of the SACD titles available was a similar old chestnut from the Sony/Columbia archives, aimed squarely at casual listeners.
So far, SACD versus DVD-A is shaping up to be the war of elevator music formats!
