SACD software prices are dropping.


Sony just released two Miles Davis SACDs with a $19.99 list price. Sony SACDs have generally had a $24.99 list price. Normal CDs generally have list prices around $16.99 to $17.99 so SACDs may soon have prices only a couple dollars more than CDs.

This week, many Tower Record stores have reduced all their Sony SACDs by $4.

This week, Telarc has announced a $2 reduction in their SACD prices.

Kelly my experience is that SACD are quite often back ordered on the internet. The two retailers in Mpls that I know have SACD can not keep them in stock. My personal experience would say this is the marketing plan and not weak deemand. Abstract7, I do remember that. Nexos is the only lable that has proven it possible, all the rest, greed! Again I find the values of audio to be amazing, people will scream holly he.. over a $500 power cord and the "profit" made, but are happy to open there wallets to 300% mark ups on software. 300% times 500 cd's vs $500 power cord. I think the power cord might be the bargain.
Sony is a mainstream manufacturer and not a low volume, highend company. It wants SACD to go mainstream and Sony knows that SACD won't go mainstrem by selling software at $25. IMHO, this is a key, calculated step to move SACD into the mainstream.
Hello Larry:

To get a list of sacd's on tower records site:

Select "all music" in one search box. In the other search box type: super audio

This works for me!
