Another sign SACD is dying


I went to Best Buy to purchase some SACDs and after searching for the special section containing sacds and xrcds without success, I asked the salesman where they were. He informed me that they were all removed since dual disc is now the rage. WOW!

What's not fair? Any version/remastering of the same source can be reasonably compared with any other. The issue is whether you draw responsible conclusions.

Since orchestras like the SFSO, RCO and LSO issue and own their recordings, there's no reason they cannot offer downloads as the opportunity become financially attractive. In fact, I expect that is inevitable.
