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!

i work for a record label. trust me, its as good as gone. the hi end manufactureres have ignored the pull-back and continued to court the consumer
>>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.
"We" are the knowlegeable audio enthusiast or audiophiles."We" are not pessimists. If you can educate the non-audio enthusiasts (like your friends, cousins, etc), it makes a lot of sense. People really don't know about this hobby. But when they listen to good audio, you have a chance to invoke their interest. I have converted atleast 3 friends to audio enthusiasts who now own and enjoy hi-fi.
BTW, Beta only did Beta. SACD players can do both SACD and RBCD :-)
Stanhifi this is not even a good comparison to the
beta you are talking about,I agree with Milpai, if
He likes SACD and enjoy it, why not support it?
Stan do you like SACD or do you even have a good
SACD player to listen,how good is SACD is? I am just
asking,because your system is not posted yet.Have
you been to MusicDirect and see How many SACD
they are selling?If you go there,your opinion will
change.I dont mean to often you really? I enjoy some
of your post though, I just happen to agree with Milpai.
I just bought another SACD today at Fry's electronics. Pure DSD. I love it. I'll enjoy the price drops if it does die - just like the $1 lp's from second had stores.

Ultimately though, I'll keep getting LPs and SACD/Redbook will still be batter up to LP. Oh yeah, LPs were supposed to die in the 80s. I guess it's night of the living dead at my place. Or should I get into the next big thing --> MP3?
