Another sign SACD is dying

Rfj5106-I've bought approx 70 or 80 CD's this year.
One of them was on SACD-Bill Laswell.

It's not easy to support that's the problem.

You're right Ben. If there were more music I wanted on SACD I would buy it, as I think, would you. This isn't as simple as I would wish. There are many factors involved, and we don't have any control over most of them anymore. Maybe if we had...

It does seem to be a format that caters to the classical and Jazz listener of which I am. So I have no problem finding music (SACD's) that I like.

On 'Hardball' last night Chris interviewed a representative of the Christian music industry who claimed that the genre accounted for 6% of total music sales. Which he stated was greater than the total for classical and jazz sales combined. I don't know if these figures are accurate but they seem believeable. Hopefully the audiophile market can keep SACD going but it seems like an uphill battle. At least a decent percentage of rock/popular new titles are also being released on vinyl.

I also dabble in Jazz and classical-my two most recent were Pat Methney and Keith Jarret's new ones.
Classical is the same,the most recent things I've bought Satie on EMI and also some Choral Renaissance music were both only Redbook.

I admit the majority of my purchases are not the type of way SACD has went although about 30-40% of my purchases are reissues.
