Notice how many SACD collections for sale?

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 age group) searching for SACDs. They expressed surprise on this move. I told them about this thread. Nice, keep 'em coming :-)

That's where I shop for my stuff - well the Fry's in Fremont, but they have 3 - 5 foot shelves full of SACD and I think one section of DVD-A.

Milpai, the pessimist are in the funeral,burying
their SACD's,and crying and waiting for the blue
ray.

Yes Jayctoy. And I think in 2009 we will have a forum on Audiogon with the following topics:

Notice how many Blu-Ray collections for sale?
Another sign Blu-Ray is dying

OR

Notice how many HD-DVD collections for sale?
Another sign HD-DVD is dying

Wow..it would be so nice, if we could predict the future.

The same logic applies for HD-DVD and Blu-Ray - If the quality of the SACD or DVD-A isn't enough to get the average consumer to buy it (audiophiles only)- Then why would they buy HD or Blu-Ray? It will fail too.

So, it will be a loooooong wait for the next hi-rez format if there ever is one.
