SACD 2 channel vs Redbook 2 Channel


Are they the same? Is one superior? Are they system dependent?

Tireguy: OK lets take that list of SACD's and filter out the ones NOT in English. OK, this knocks off quite a few hundred right off the bat.

Then lets filter out the "SACD's" that you cant even buy! Alot of these titles have yet to be released even! And in many cases will never be released.

That brings us down to about how many? 4-500 as I stated?

Sony stated over 2500 titles would be out 3 years ago?

Quote from Tireguy: "Ok now take everything I typed out of context and tell me that I am wrong, that would really be beneficial to everyone here"

Yep, you are wrong.

Hows that free "sampler" disc treating you? Guess how many of those will never see a SACD player? Probably your copy and a few other people here on Agon. I bet thats not too far off from the truth either.

How does your size 12 taste Tireguy? =)

I dont think there are even close to 500 out.
I have 600 SACDs. If I was more of a classical music buff I'd probably have a lot more.

Regards,
Ritteri- Again your making assumpthions that you don't have all of the fact's I know people in the USA who have over 1000 SACD's personally- so again you are WRONG just deal with it and move on! Here is just one store and they have currently 959 available SACD titles http://www.amusicdirect.com/products/swsearch.asp?dmSearchBy=category&srch=30.

My size 13 Prada's will remain on the floor and not going any where near my mouth- why don't you try and gather facts before pontificating nonsense to us all.
Again, look at all those titles. Still some that arent even in English, alot are not even music CD's(or 2 channel)native to this country and alot of these arent even true SACD's with the higher upsampling. And were still not even at 1000. I claimed "hundreds" of true released SACD's. That claim still holds folks.

If anyone has more than 100 or even 1000 SACD's I feel sorry that they wasted all that money because most of them havent even been "remastered" to 96khz and are no better(and from alot of articles actually WORSE)than redbook cd's.

Plus I noticed that noone will even challenge the fact that there are only a few dozen SACD players on the market. I made alot of points, you folks are only trying to zero in on one small point.

And lets be real, looking at that "wonderful" list of SACD's isnt getting my juices pumping very much to go run out and buy another SACD player.......

Someone should read Onhwy61's comment up above too. It adds alot of weight to my arguments.
