Hi, I'm not sure if this is the spot but I have to whine about SACD. No doubt it is an improvement from standard Cd, but don't you feel conned?
They talked a lot of people into getting rid of their vinyl and buy the new wonder a Cd. It sounded horrible. Time goes on and small improvements are made, HDCD.They still sounded horrible but you bought it.You've now purchased the same album three times. No real improvements came along for a long time so the record companies came out with new re-mastered Cd's with extra tracks.That makes four times you've bought that album.
Now its SACD or perhaps DVD-Audio.Legitimate improvements from "old" Cd but now we are at number five. For me this is where it stops. I don't care if SACD is the second coming of recorded music, I'm not buying it.
I don't think you have to be too cynical to see how this fiasco has been played out.
Thank God I kept my original vinyl and (for the most part) stayed off the merry-go-round. As Johnny Rotten sneered when asked about the Sex pistols reunion "Ever get the feeling you've been conned'.
