Notice how many SACD collections for sale?
After all the posts, I am wondering, what the SACD pessemists are doing in this Hi-Rez forum? What did they find it so interesting to come to this forum? If it was me, I would never look back and go to a "promising format" forum :-) Ironic!!!

In reply to the orignal thread - yeah Seasoned...throwing towel on hi-rez.. went to Frys at Sunnyvale yesterday, and they have a whole NEW section dedicated to just SACD. Never saw that one before. Met a couple of people (probably between 20-30 ag...

Tbg, did you buy the RC machine or do you get it done for extra $$. I do understand that the RC process does take some extra effort.

Treyhoss, you THE MAN of the hour. Thank you for this wonderful info. What site is this listed on? Would like to get that link, to the site. I am facing-off 2 more guys at audioasylum.com, who told me that major audio magazines say SACD is dead. S...

Jaybo, I get subscription mails from Acousticsounds.com every week (sometimes twice), where they list all the LPS, SACDs, DVD-A, etc that are newly released. The list has not stop nor dwindling as of now. So it remains to be seen, how many compani...

Quad 21L/22L
I know this is an old thread. But tonight I just completed a session of the Firebird on my Quad 21L. It keeps coming back to me - how come they sell these speakers for such a price? The Quad 21L are very transparent speaker. The soundstage they th...

Jaybo, I am refering to "audio" as a hobby..not SACD. I like the SACD sound. But I think people in general do "passive" listening. That is what is killing the hobby. With the fast pace of today's world they feel, that active listening is wha they ...

"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 li...

Jaybo/Stanhifi, I don't think SACD will die soon. I can clearly remember how Panasonic's DCC died. MD is not much in the US market, but is going strong elsewhere. And if you look at SACD, then more and more albums are getting released. Also, there...

One thing I don't understand. All SACDs that are being released now-a-days can be played back on regular CD players. So why does the record industry not produce SACD ONLY? That way people will be exposed to SACDs and they might discover the benefi...
