Notice how many SACD collections for sale?

Guidocorona, Sorry, I just flew of the handle and started into my rant. Guess you were poking fun and it went right over this head of mine! Most of what I was responding to was this general wave of negativity that is so prevalent on A'gon with a small group of fellows who feel that every format, every piece of equipment, every kind remark made has something wrong underlying it. It gets a bit old. For me records, TT's, tubes, drum & wires it's all good and I'm enjoying it immensely. Cheers!

No prob R_F_Sales, I am not seeing any overt signs of impending death of any formats either. Besides, I mostly listen to music by long dead musicians. . . so I am not really worried about impending demises.

Bring back 96/24, baby! ;~)

Whoever the doubters are - you do realize that we are all dying a slow death as well. Last I check immortality is at 0%. Should we all lay in our coffins next to our SACD collection? Everything comes and goes, but it's here now and for many years to come, and yes you are still missing out.

So, here we are again..on yet another thread of SACD dying. Lets start a thread on how "audiophile" is dying. How people rant about formats rather than music - which is the jist of this hobby.
I don't know if SACD is dying or Blu-Ray is dying or Black-ray is in birth, etc. I like this format and will continue to support it at the forums I visit. On some recordings the SACD scares me with the realistic sounds it throws.

BTW, all the pessemists, what SACD player do you have? I am sure you guys have a universal player which is a jack-of-all and master-of-none. So you don't know how a SACD actually sounds.
