Markphd I agree with most of what you have said except for the part about Sony abandoning SACD. In fact Sony has just opened a new plant to make SACD discs in larger quantity.
SACD is also supported by many audiophile companies. And most audiophiles agree SACD is a better format than DVDA. Over 4000 different SACD titles have been released.
I also don't understand the comments from audiotomb and the format wars business. Sony is not the only company supporting Blu-ray. In fact Toshiba is for the most part on it's own with HD-DVD. You hardly ever hear people complain about them. In fact Toshiba was barred from trade with the US in 1987 for selling tools to Russia for building submarines.
The Technics SP-10MKII will play clockwise and counterclockwise. In addition, Turntables would have been much better if they played from the inside out. When the record got to the end the arm would just fall off the record. No need for an arm lift.
And, Edison was wrong and eventually did give up. He wanted our power system to be DC and lost out to Westinghouse and Tesla's Alternating Current system.
