SACD software prices are dropping.

supply/demand phenomenon or a pitch to an untapped market? hope it's the latter. fear it's the former.

I'm hoping it's a lowering of standard price. I just ordered six more SACD's from Tower's website, and it appears that all the SACD's listed are either "low stock", or 3-5 days wait. From that, I assume that these are moving out at a fairly good clip. I bought my SACD player last fall, and have over 30 titles on SACD already.

I have high hopes for SACD. I was an early adopter of the CD format, 1983, however if my memory serves me correctly it took me several years to get 30 redbooks, back then, it was the same as it is now for SACD.

I recall reading a long time back in one of the rags that the strategy on pricing these discs was to be starting at $25, then lowering it as the format took hold. This is good news; now let's get some more new recordings out there!

Beemer: What heading are you using to access SACD's on the Tower Records site. I haven't had any luck. Thanks; Larry

I recall when CD came out. They said the prices would quickly fall to below $10 as the market took hold. Anyone remember those below $10 retail CDs? Me neither. The price has been set to what the market will bear. If we don't buy SACDs at $24, but do buy at $19 (I will)--then that will dictate the price. More than likely they will then increase the price to find out when people reduce purchasing SACDs. But if I can get a dual layer SACD (most Sony's aren't), which I can play in my SACD player and all my CD players at $19 I will buy it over a $13 CD any day.
