Latest SACD News - Very Interesting.


Rumor is one of the main record companies had decided to stop CD production and switch to SACD/CD hybrids for all new titles. As Sony cannot as yet produce hybrids, it is assumed that the label in question has to be Universal (Philips).


The news, announced at a Sony-Philips press conference, was that one million consumer SACD players have been sold so far. The prognosis for SACD is total worldwide sales of 6 million players (in whatever form) in 2003 and 13 million in 2004.

Sounds like great news, but there are still no SACD titles I want to buy; and I refuse to pay more for a hybrid CD I can't use.

Back in 1953 when I bought my first "HI FI" someone gave me my first LP record to play on it: the broadway show "Wonderful Town". I still have that record, and my up to date equipment can still play it.

Will any tape or digital media match that longevity?
