Another sign SACD is dying

Eldartford, Judging from the system below (yours) you clearly frequent Curciut City for your audio advice. To each their own, to each their own. Now as a self discribed "sucker for spacial..." perhaps you would like some advice on...

Denon 2900 with Underwood mod
Rotel 1066 PrePro
Ashley electronic crossover
3 CarverPro ZR1600 power amps biamped for front speakers
3 Magneplanar MG1.6
3 multidriver custom subwoofer systems
Behringer DEQ2496 Equalizer

Now then, yes I may be a snob in your view.

I was just joking around, You are correct, the mass market is Circuit City, and you are well above that. Sorry if you took offence, just a little fun...

Milpai...Of course BB and CC are in to selling mass produced products at low cost. That's how you make money in the real world, so that you can afford to buy exotic audio equipment, sports cars, motor boats, airplanes, etc.

Jadem6...The only audio piece I ever bought at Best Buy is a Panasonic SA-XR70, and it is one heck of a good item for my TV/HT rig. With the right speakers it really could be a primary audio system.

I don't know how you got details of my system, but you are mostly right. You forgot my Sony PSX-800 TT, with servoed linear tracking biotracing arm, probably the most high tech item in my house and a superb performer although not "certified" audiophile gear. (It cost almost a grand back in 1980). Also my PS Audio outboard preamp, one of the first to use passive (no feedback) RIAA equalization.
Also there are the rear channels, a second DEQ2496, Kenwood LO7M power amps, and Madisound Odin speakers. Also the Maggies are retrofitted with upscale passive crossovers.

Take offence? I don't do that.

Happy New Year!

I haven't read all of the comments. However if your looking for SACD go to borders. they have a great selection and the best classical CD selection i have seen in tucson. I was amazed at how many they have. 3 isles of classical CD and SACD's. circuit city had two spaces, and about 2 isles for RAP! eech.
