The other point that was missed is that three posters said that, rather than
a CD release damaging SACD, we are hesitant to buy CD's because we'd rather wait for the SACD. So, some *might* hesitate to buy a hybrid, waiting instead for a cheaper CD-only remaster, but that's assuming this will be a trend and it assumes that Sony will stop issuing the hybrid version first, which are huge assumptions, seeing as how Sony is behind SACD. Finally, how many people are hesitating to buy CD's because they are waiting for an SACD version? How many people will actually hold off from buying hybrids because they'd rather wait on the off-chance that a cheaper CD-only version will be released later? Sorry to beat a dead horse, but I think it is a lot of idle speculation. I *know* what I am doing. I am buying up SACD's. In the last few months a lot of music that interests me has appeared on SACD and it is extremely well engineered. My collection is 100+ and growing. As I've written, I am voting with my pocketbook for High Rez. I will not let the "sky is falling" anti-SACD crowd dissuade me. I think the concern over a possible sell-through CD-only version is much ado about nothing.
