Spoiled by multichannel????

I certainly see Nandersons point. We are truly the disposable society---like none before us---Somewhere down the road there will be consequences. There must be 2000 computer towers dumped every day,worldwide.----- Now on to music; Like many I do HT and 2ch. I enjoy the visual along with the music. I'm sure I rented every classical LD available; back when.--As a music junky,I listen to something near 24/7 and enjoy a boombox and the car radio. I have newer 7.1 Marantz sr9300;receiver, which will make 7.1 out of 2ch. information. It gives me my little 7.1 fix; good for a short period of time. (Then there's the joy of remote pre-sets)(A first for me)I don't do the newer formats and probably won't. I got turned off by the first DTS 5.1 cds I bought.UGH! (Anybody listen to Moody Blues DOFP; dts version?--case closed) My first love,like many here is 2ch,were most of the upgrade bucks go. At 67,I understand the younger folks getting into that.---Just reading here I see they are doing ELTON in sacd---a good indicator of where the format is going. I won't say never;ELTON makes it tempting.(for me)

i prefer 2 ch for music and 5.1 for movies,although i have heard a few well recorded ,mixed 5.1 DVD A,SACD that sound very good!well done 5.1 music can be very exciting to listen to,ive found myself in stores getting ready to buy a 5.1 disc,only to put it back on the shelf worried that ill get one with a mix that sucks.i would buy more 5.1 sacds if they also included a 2 ch sacd layer instead of the usual redbook cd layer,,,

You're kinda mixing two things in your question: Hi-rez, and multi-channel. While a good *discreet, no gimmick* multi-channel recording of a symphony is unquestionably better than stereo, it's not bad going back to stereo after a few weeks of surround. What I find almost too hard to take is going from hi-rez DSD to redbook. Very hard. Surprisingly hard.
