"According to the RIAA, vinyl outsells SACD and DVD-audio combined by a 4-to-1 margin. Business is business, sad to say."
If that were the case, then someone is making very poor business decisions as there were only 1 million new LP's sold last year. Compared to CD sales, LP sales aren't even a drop in the bucket. You also have to consider the fact that the RIAA counts most SACD's as CD's in their stats. A fact that would boost SACD sales above that of LP's.
"I'd also have to disagree with the statement--->"There must be as many SACD players out there as turntables. There's just no way."
I just read that there are over 13 million SACD players in public hands. Quite a lot, when you think about it. Any idea of how many working TT's are out there?
