More good news for SACD....

Me too Sean.I have 1 sacd and 1 on the way.
I think I like the redbook playback on mine better than sacd.Its a good thing I guess as Im sure my player will get more CD time than sacd.

Hahaha.... I think that many of us are in the same boat David. Probably due to a lack of available SACD titles with minimal variety in the releases available. I don't mind trying out new and different bands / types of music, but not at $18 - $25 a pop. Collecting discs that i'll never listen to at high prices is not very high on my list of things to do. I'm sure that others can relate. Sean

unfortunately today i can count on fingers the SACD releases that I wish to have so i consider this news as teaspoon in the ocean.

Marakenetz-DSOM is arguably the most famous record release related to Hi-fi (rightly or wrongly)ever, so this a major release for SACD.
I wouldn't disagree about the lack of titles but 2002 saw the first few new releases by major artists on SACD very close to their CD releases-Bowie,Beck and Peter Gabriel (soon anyway).
With the Stones releases and the Dylan ones soon to come things are moving in the right direction,even if slowly.
Of course none of these facts guarantees the success of the format but do not doubt DSOM on SACD is major news and a major victory for SACD over DVDA.

Responses are spot on! If this medium is going to survive they have to start putting out music we want. How hard is it for The Suits to look back and see what sold well in the past. That's what people are going to buy again since the new releases are for the most part a steaming pile of excrement!
I have probably eight or ten SACDs but hundreds of LPs and CDs. I would never buy another redbook CD if I could get the same on SACD.
