Another sign SACD is dying
The argument that SACD will die because the masses won't get into it is not valid since LP's are still around and clearly not something the masses listen to. Perhaps. I would point to a difference between vinyl and SACD digital, however, which is ... 
Sinatra question
Warrenh, I have a Sinatra collection called "Frank Sinatra: The V-Discs" (Columbia/Legacy C2K 66135). All the recording are from 1943-1952. This may be along the lines of what you're looking for.

Tvad, not in my opinion.That's been clear from the outset.So what you wanted is for Jayctoy to say it has no high frequencies?No. What I want is for Jayctoy to explain his definition of "air". Nothing more. Nothing less.
