Notice how many SACD collections for sale?


Does this say something about the state of the medium? Have you pondered throwing in the hi-rez towel?

sacd will be like 8 tracks in 24 months,but they seam to still make players,like its alive and well.i did a post some time ago about sacd players price dropping fast,and im still waiting,lucky for them most of them play dvds or they would be worthless..i have a friend who is a classical music lover,and he still cant get sacd to sound right..he has had over 7 players ,,,its sad...long live redbook
While I have always thought vinyl gave the best reproduction of performances, I thought that sacds were second best, because of their sense of the soundstage and superior top end. I must say that dads were very close, however, as were HDCDs.

When RealityCheck came along, however, I must say that I find redbooks rejuvenated. Although I still enjoy my many and still growing collection of sacds, I miss the clarity and drive of RC copies of redbooks. I doubt seriously that there are many selling their sacd collections, but if they are I would strongly recommend they check out RealityCheck copies, unless they are just going back to redbook.
Hmmm....5 SACD titles from Sony between 12/20/05 to 01/03/06, with another 2 possible. Then Telarc will add another SACD title in January 2006, followed by another 10 RCA Living Stereo SACDs for February 2006.

It's kinda dying.
With more than 4000 available and so many new ones in each Music Direct listing, hardly dying.
Tbg,

Where did you get the 4,000 number from? Just curious. sa-cd.net currently list 3,463 titles, as of 12/06/2005. Assuming another 10% of titles are not listed at that site, that still wouldn't be 4,000 titles.
