to buy Space Tech Lab or not to buy?

Contact Audiogon member 'Acadie'. Basile has a Space Tech Lab system.

Well I don't have one of his DACs, but I do have a few pieces of Space Tech gear. I have heard a few of the different Space Tech DACs many times.
The DACs are very, very, good, I hope to get one in the future, very refined, incredible detail in retrieving information, a very detailed sound stage, wide deep,with different layers.

If your going to bet on a format, I'll say that Redbook with stay around longer than the other ones, and if you move to a Hard Drive type setup. You still need a DAC.

To buy or not to buy:
I think that everyone is missing the point. Can anyone
remember when SACD players first came out? Can anyone
remember when, just a couple years ago, the production of
New SACD disks was halted? In the interim period ,how many
New releases on SACD became available? I was able to locate
30 to 40 female vocalists SACD disks available on the
Internet. I was also able to find 30 to 40 popular groups
available on SACD. I did find over 2000 classical releases
currently available on SACD. I love Classical Music, especially Gustov Holtz "The Planets". Man does not live by
bread or Classical Music alone. If you love the Bangles or
Genesis, your in luck. If you are like Tommy Lee Jones
character in M.I.B. thinking you are going to get the
Beatles White Album in High Rez. from its original Master
Analog tape, here's the skinny. NOT AVAILABLE in SACD, NOT
AVAILABLE in DVD-Audio, NOT AVAILABLE in Blue Ray Audio
whatever that standard might be, and NOT AVAILABLE for
download High Rez. wise via the Internet. Now just
substitute two dozen or more of your favorite Artists for
the Beatles or include the Beatles if you like. Just
concider SACD alone and you will see a vacuum of some of
the most popular music in the last half of the 20th
Century alone. These disks aren't even the highlights of
this time period. Simply put, there is no Musical content
available on SACD and there never was! Somehow a Musical
Format is supposed to flourish in a vacuum of Musical
content, and Manufacturers of SACD disks are SHOCKED that
no-one chose to pay for a vacuum. This is better known as
a self defeating prophecy with Manufacturers convincing
themselves that the only lesson to be learned is that the
American Public is not interested in sound quality. Now if
we can just do the same with DVD-Audio ( whoops- too late ), Blue Ray Audio, and Downloading of high rez.
recordings, we will be in business ( read OUT OF
BUSINESS ). Not one of these Formats offers any indication
of providing the Musical Content in high rez. necessary to
sustain it and THAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE! No Musical Content
= No Sale, no matter what the Format. One could assume, in
a vacuum, that the Musical Content for high rez. will
magically appear for downloading. The only thing you have
to do is spend thousands of dollars for the equipment
( much like your SACD bretheren ) and I am sure you are
ONLY going to love the Bangles and Genesis. What guarantee
do you have that it will be different? The same guarantee
that thousands of SACD disks were just around the corner
for those spending thousands of dollars on SACD players?
Where are those people now after ( much like you )
putting all of their eggs in one basket? After all, I am
sure that we will eventually be downloading all of our high
rez. recordings off of the Internet, even if the only thing
to listen to is high rez. static. It doesn't have to be
this way. If you want Musical Content in a high quality
Format, you are going to have to fight for it! Music
lovers are passionate about their Music, its all up to
you.
