Another sign SACD is dying

And to your surprise, that is exactly my point too. Somehow you and I have not clicked on this thread, I guess we just see a different ending.

I again want to thank you for the civility of this discussion. This is without question the most fun I have had disagreeing on Audiogon in years. Tvad, you are in my admiration.

TVAD(GRANT) and JD thank you for being both gentlemen
in this topic, I have learned a lot,YOU ARE BOTH TO
BE ADMIRE, TO KEEP COOL ON THIS THREAD.Thanks

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.

There are such things as niche products that can survive without the full general public support.

lps can be made using existing anologue or digital masters.....in other words, no investment.... its found money.........remastered sacds cost tons of money and you have to deal with the artist, etc for additional permissions and roylties.....yes niche products can survive, but sacd, like the laserdisc,beta,cd video, digital tape,the minidisc,dvda, etc., just isn't paying for itself. the hybrids will even disappear soon. the release itself, not the technology, drove those sales and the additional expense simply wasnt worth it.
