Is SACD a dead format?

Good match with Sonus Faber Grand Pianos
A friend of mine drives his Alon Adriana with a Cary 5 watt 2A3 amp in his 30 by 18 room and is not even bothered about going for a higher power amp. His speakers are 87dB stand mounters. Talk about power! 
Eric Clapton at Crossroads Guitar Festival DVD
A great DVD with great performances from almost all. The solo by Clapton on I shot the sheriff was incredible. Many complain about missing stuff but the fact is that they made a two disc set is more than enough one can ask for at the price of just... 
Review: NAD 3020 Receiver
As far a spec goes it is a 20 watter, but NAD is famous for being very conservative in quoting such specs, some believe it is more like 30 watts per channel. I have the NAD 3225PE and although the specs say 25 watts but I am positive it is more li...

Review: B&W DM-602 s3 Monitor
For those who are classically inclined should seriously consider Audio Analogue Puccini SE to drive these, do not get mislead by what the specs of Puccini says about power rating, it maybe just 50 watts but sound like a 100 watter amp. I have hear...

Were to go after a Rega Planet 2000?
Quad somehow always come up with excellent CD Players, I own the CD67 and it sounds more like analogue than digital.Was not impressed with Wadia in terms of price/performance ratio. Yet Marantz players I always thought were true value for money in...

Review: NAD 3020 Receiver
I have used the Sennheiser 580 with the Nad 3225PE, the sound is not bad at all, but, I always felt that there was a very slight hiss in the background, I suspect this could be due to aging (1990). Since I did not have anything else I had no way t...
