Another sign SACD is dying

speaking strictly for myself, I have not lost my enthusiasm for the format, or the past two years increases in released titles. I did however grow very tired of trying to share my enthusiasm. There are some people who tried it and heard nothing, for those I question the resolving abilities of the system they heard it on. There are many who have never tried it and yet share their negative opinions. There are yet others who have found the format betters the redbook by a marked degree, not to mention the fact that we also can play redbook on our machines. Those without the ability to play SACD are missing the format, those of us who are enjoying SACD also enjoy redbook. So please explain what I'm missing...

IMO you are not missing anything I agree with you and share your enthusiasm for SACD. What amazes me is these same people who are negative about SACD will promote tweak after tweak trying to get the absolute most out of their systems. When they have something that can improve their listening pleasure such as SACD they denounce it. I suspect that some or most of these people probably hate SACD because they hate SONY and will not promote anything that SONY does.

a format's superiority is no assurance of success. the sound of sacd is great, its just that bmg has bought sony music, and there is no way they are going to invest in sacd. they could care less about the fidelity difference. if you check the new avails you will see things are drying up already.
