Notice how many SACD collections for sale?


Does this say something about the state of the medium? Have you pondered throwing in the hi-rez towel?

I guess I missed out on the last couple of formats as I was too busy buying Lps. Did someone mention Hi-rez? Cheers!
Wait a minute ...is this a episode of Monty Python that I missed entitled "the Audiophiles that say nah"?! Are you fellows kidding me? Better check your statistics on Lp record sales, vinyl is grabbing a larger market share every year. Read your Billboard. Some of you old soaks feel that the world is heading to hell in a handcart while the rest of us are enjoying a heyday in the Lp format with new, reissued, and a strong used market as well. Quite frankly my purchases are through the ceiling. People are selling Lps, SACD's, and everything else because the economy stinks, it's not the format.
Vinyl is dead?! You fellows are so eighties...
Cheers!
Guidocorona, Sorry, I just flew of the handle and started into my rant. Guess you were poking fun and it went right over this head of mine! Most of what I was responding to was this general wave of negativity that is so prevalent on A'gon with a small group of fellows who feel that every format, every piece of equipment, every kind remark made has something wrong underlying it. It gets a bit old. For me records, TT's, tubes, drum & wires it's all good and I'm enjoying it immensely. Cheers!
For me SACD may survive as a format in that it sounds more like vinyl, it has that relaxed yet lively invigorating quality of real musicians making real music and that's a nice thing. Happy listening!
