Another sign SACD is dying
Thanks Essentialaudio!As you know, company news releases and reality can be two different things with the truth often residing in the middle. 
Another sign SACD is dying
Essentialaudio,I agree with the point you are making. We audiophiles all have different priorities but have one common thread - we build our systems around the best playback format(s) available. I doubt anyone on this forum has built their system ... 
Another sign SACD is dying
Here's the link.http://www.superaudio-cd.com/news/I was seeing if there were any SACD's being released by Rush and typed "Rush SACD" in google. BTW: There are:-) 
Another sign SACD is dying
I too wish more of the music I want to purchase were being remastered or recorded on SACD. Sony will have SACD with their Playstation 3, which is sure to be a hit, and I have no doubts SACD playback will be included in the Blu-Ray Hi-Def DVD playe... 
Another sign SACD is dying
October 28th 2005News from Sony’s Super Audio CD Business Centre in Japan indicates that the format continues to grow and attract new supporters. Analysts highlight a global trend linking increased demand for SA-CD compatible players with people i... 
Folk/Rock choices that are well recorded
One that is old but an excellent recording - not to mention great music - is Peter, Paul and Mary. Their self-titled first album is one of the better recorded I have and the CD is first rate too!

I wish SACD would have made a bigger splash. I think a series of factors have limited SACD's chance of success. Two hi-rez formats in the market, the rise of MP3/iPod and finally, new music for the most part sucks (IMO)! The record companies have ... 
Sony DVP-S9000ES vs DVP-NS999ES for 2-channel?
For the price quoted in some earlier posts, you would be wise to consider the 9000es. I own the 999es and contrary to some other opinions I find the sound to be pretty good (about what I'd expect for the $ spent). I bought the 999es primarily for ... 
Other Hobbies?
I have too many hobbies and not enough time or money! I collect coins, antiquities and militaria (WW2). I also enjoy gardening and have been working on an outdoor fountain for the past year made entirely of semi-precious rocks and minerals (amethy... 
Blu-Ray and HD DVD
Dawgbyte, Albert posted this info about Blu-Ray:While current optical disc technologies such as DVD, DVD±R, DVD±RW, and DVD-RAM use a red laser to read and write data, the new format uses a blue-violet laser instead, hence the name Blu-ray. Despit... 
Is SACD a dead format?
So long as they get around to releasing the Moody Blues on SACD before closing shop:-) 
Song intros that really grab you? ?
I always thought the coolest song intro was to "The Story in Your Eyes" by the Moody Blues. The intro actually had a title called "Procession". It starts with an "outer space" sound representing the creation of the planet and then proceeds forward... 
ebay vs audiogon
The only happy medium I can think of IF someone wants to pay by credit card is to ask they send you a check. You know, one of those checks the credit card companies send you with your bill saying it can be used "for anything...".If you deposit tha... 
ebay vs audiogon
Most of the stuff I was selling was under the $500, but you are right Bluefin, this was another reason for the "upgrade" for that particular transaction. My take on this from a seller's perspective is that while having the cash in hand quickly is ... 
ebay vs audiogon
I had the Paypal account before the "premier" account and kept it that way as well until about 6 months ago. I was able to receive bank transfers via Paypal and it was free. The thing that "forced" me to go to the Premier account is that I had a f...
