Is SACD really this lousy?

Albert, I have in front of me a once played,good as when first opened, copy of Matchbox-20 on vinyl.It is their first one,the multi-million seller "Your Self Or Someone Like You" I had a friend who loved this album so I bought it for $9.00 brand new at a shop in Roch.N.Y. He bought the CD at the same time for $14.00 or $15.00 can't remember.WE did a A/B and well,the vinyl kills the CD version.Overall its not one of the better recordings out there but its stll pretty good.Anyway if this is something you would want for your collection and would get use out of it you can have it.Im not much into them anyway and as I said its been spun one time.I will send to you.I dont have your E-mail address anymore.If you still have mine send me your home address and its on its way.If someone told you this was not out on vinyl,still dont give up.The people in some stores have done searches for me and have told me "no vinyl"and they have been wrong many times.I wanted a vinyl copy of a Tool LP called Aenima and pretty much had given up.I looked for months for it and called all over.One eve.I was in E-Bay and there it was.There is TONS of 90's music on vinyl.If you are looking for something and cant find it E-mail me.I have a good nose for vinyl!! Mario,my dealer sends me on "assignments"for a long wanted copy of something he cant find.Check out CDNOW.com they have lots of new music on vinyl.$2-3 less than the CD!! If you feel funny accepting the LP from me I have been looking for a mint Pink Floyd "The Wall" I know you guys with thousands of LPs have several copies of the classics.Just a generic copy would be fine.No need for a MOFI.I have a copy in G- but want a better one.Either way,the Matchbox-20 is yours.Its just collecting dust here.Let me know.

David. Thanks to you from both myself, and my son. We listen together fairly often. He is only 14 years of age, so I often have trouble finding the music of his generation. I will look for Pink Floyd, I have only one copy of "The Wall," but I think I will be able to locate another. Hard to find LP's..... I would love to find "Mirrorball" by Sarah McLachlan; 10,000 Maniacs, "Our Time In Eden"; Loreena McKennitt "Book of Secrets"; KD Lang "Ingenue." I am also looking for two or three super clean copies of Nirvana's albums. "Nevermind", "In Utero" and "Unplugged". All of the copies posted on EBAY go completely crazy, and end up selling for what looks like the national debt. I will write you through Audiogon, you are of course welcome to my e-mail address.

Albert or David, if you find the any of Loreena Mckennit's work, or Sarah McLachlan's "Mirror Ball" on vinyl, get an extra copy for me. Thanks. CDNow has "Inutero" on vinyl, I think. I may get it. I saw on the news that CD NOw is supposed to be going out of business in the next two weeks or so, unless they merge with a larger company. They've tried to merge before, but it fell through. I was hoping they'd have some kind of going-out-of-business sale, but so far it's only like "30% off".

David; It was actually Rockvirgo above that said "CD listeners appear far more serene", but I did ask for the studies you mentioned on this subject. And thanks for noting the Stereophile article. I had read it, and found it interesting-- don't remember if it was statistically significant or not though. I'll take another look. BTW, what did you think of Albert's well written post on the state of LP/analog? As noted, I thought it was right on, but I take no comfort in the decline of vinyl. Thanks, Craig.

Carl,I have bitten all my finger nails till they are bloody waiting for a full report on your new TUBE amp.What gives? As far as buying new music on vinyl the best place I have found is e-bay.Sometimes still sealed.I will do search for you and Albert but the best thing to do is snatch up the new stuff right away.Creeds "My Own Prison" will never be out on vinyl unless there is an import or an audiopile label picks it up.I called Wind up records which is the bands label and the producer said he was a vinyl guy and understood but to release it on vinyl was not cost efective.I begged him make on copy for me!! Well,one time a while back I walked into my favorite music store and proudly on the new releases rack were 2 vinyl copies of Creed's new one "Human Clay"I should have bought them both but that wouldnt have been right.So you never know what you will find! Maybe I got to the producers "kind side"
