Notice how many SACD collections for sale?

I agree w/ Aball. In addition, Keith Johnson has resurrected Reference Recordings, and all new releases are in an improved version HDCD (he co-developed HDCD) and only
$17 each.

Then there's JVC's XRCD which (for releases of newly recorded material) is as good as any 2ch SACD I've heard.

No, I love SACD (hybrid). I listen primarily classical and jazz and there is plenty of material available. I do have some great redbook recordings but as a whole SACD is superior. I have thought of trying XRCD but I can not justify the price.

Chuck

I caught lots of nice vinyl when the majority jumped ship in the late 80's and early 90's

I hope to do the same with SACD but I am not getting any bargains on titles currently other than a few bucks off at most on Ebay. I suspect a lot of competition from folks here.

If SACD remains a niche product, that's cool with me.

Have Fun

I have a bunch of SACDs, and I'm not throwing in the towel anytime soon. IMO, when done right, it's the best format out there.

I see more LPS and CDs for sale on any given day but I don't think those formats are on there way out.
