Notice how many SACD collections for sale?

I like SACD, and will not be selling any soon. I enjoy multi-channel the most, and the hi-rez aspect is a bonus. I think you need to commit to a full high quality multi-channel system before you experience what SACD and DVD-A have to offer. Don't scrimp on the center and surround equipment. I like my redbook CDs, and have a long list that I wish were in SACD or DVD-A. SACD stereo is a dud!

Milpai,

Having done 50 cds now, I am glad I bought the machine. I only wish that the cleaning process were not so tedious and so necessary.

Patternlou, I would not go so far as to say that "stereo SACD is a dud," but I have only heard mc sacd under limited circumstances where the hardware was very expensive and quite unimpressive sounding IMHO. I am unlikely to ever invest in the necessary equipment for mc.

This is just a word of thanks to everyone who is dumping their SACD collections! Keep them coming!!!

I think more people use SACD in stereo. Multichannel is pretty cool when mixed right, but the fact that you have to spend money on long speaker cables, several extra interconnects thins the budget out. I'd rather put all that money into a pair of interconnects, better (stereo) speakers and speaker cables and get better quality than spending the same amount on a lower quality surround system.

After all the posts, I am wondering, what the SACD pessemists are doing in this Hi-Rez forum? What did they find it so interesting to come to this forum? If it was me, I would never look back and go to a "promising format" forum :-) Ironic!!!
