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.

Yes I know this thread started in 2008, but it is still relevant today

 Recently I was discussing music with a colleague who is in her 30s.

I'm 65.

I mentioned I was looking to purchase some CDs and SACDs.

She was incredulous!

Her only response was "You're kidding, right?"

To her, listening to music involves compressed streaming and her phone. Period.

I honestly was surprised by her response.

I guess I should have known better.

Sigh...
