SACD software prices are dropping.

Sony just released two Miles Davis SACDs with a $19.99 list price. Sony SACDs have generally had a $24.99 list price. Normal CDs generally have list prices around $16.99 to $17.99 so SACDs may soon have prices only a couple dollars more than CDs.

This week, many Tower Record stores have reduced all their Sony SACDs by $4.

This week, Telarc has announced a $2 reduction in their SACD prices.

I can verify that Sony SACD prices are dropping to a retail of $20. My local dealer shared this information last week.

I'm hoping it's a lowering of standard price. I just ordered six more SACD's from Tower's website, and it appears that all the SACD's listed are either "low stock", or 3-5 days wait. From that, I assume that these are moving out at a fairly good clip. I bought my SACD player last fall, and have over 30 titles on SACD already.

I have high hopes for SACD. I was an early adopter of the CD format, 1983, however if my memory serves me correctly it took me several years to get 30 redbooks, back then, it was the same as it is now for SACD.
