SACD releases

I've owned universal players, but never really got in to DVD-A discs because of the reasons you mention, they just didn't sound all that good. IMHO, in general, SACD's sound the best. I say 'in general' because I have heard poorly recorded SACD's and fabulous recorded redbook cd's

Have you checked out this site? Plug in the genre of music you are looking for and find out the available titles.

Walked into Best Buy the other day looking for DSOTM and was surprised to find out they have given up on them as well. There is still stuff available at Amazon and the like.

BTW, what are some good classical titles to start the SACD-Classical plunge? Not a huge classical listener but I do enjoy it and I'd love to give it a spin. TIA.

That's a good site, thanks.

Not sure what you like but I have found most of the RCA Living Stereo releases to be very good recordings and also very reasonably priced.

And I still hold hope but 99% of the audiophiles even miss the SACD/DVD-A advantages. The 50kHz extension can not be heard (I'm good to 16kHz only) but it definitely creates a presence and placement that is unmatched. Sadly, most only have 20kHz limited speakers.
