No wonder SACD hasn't caught on


I was looking on Circuit City's website and they have over 2000 SACDs for sale. So I took some notes and then went to a local store to check things out. I wandered around in the music section and couldn't find any SACDs or DVD-As either. I thought they might have just mixed them in with the CDs but didn't have any luck locating any. So I went up to a sales person and told him that although I had seen a lot of SACDs on the website, I couldn't seem to locate any.

His response....."What's an SACD?" He looked baffled even after I explained what they were and, of course, he hadn't heard of DVD-A either. Must be the best kept secret in the music industry.

I remember the sacd section getting smaller each time I went to look for music at best buy.

Vinyl is the answer.
Dave,

No I'm not saying that BB is stocking vinyl now but I can drive to 6 or so stores, 2 of which have good selections of brand new vinyl, and find really great, high quality music at reasonable prices. I found 4 LPs just last night on my way home from dinner. This weekend I got a very nice LP that sounds better than any recording I have ever heard. That's why, to me at least, vinyl is a better option.
