They aren't.What we're getting is predominately a rehash of old material, marketed to an aging audiophile base. It'll sell a few thousand copies, maybe as many as 10,000 copies but that isn't nearly enough to take it beyond niche status.
A 40 year old master tape isn't going to show what DVD-A or SA-CD is capable of and that point was consistent in both quotes you highlighted.
Follow Ups:
John,You should re-read your first quote: "It is still predominately reissues of catalog titles instead of newly recorded material which can show the new formats in their best light." Maybe I'm being a bit of a semantic freak, but the unequivocal meaning of the your statement is that reissues of catalogue titles can best demonstrate of "what DVD-A or SA-CD is capable." (Whether or not you meant it - I don't think you did - the base sentence is "It is still predominantly reissues of catalogue titles which can show the new formats in their best light." What the sentence needs to change the meaning is another qualifier and a comma: "It is still predominantly reissues of catalogue titles that are currently available, rather than newly recorded material which can show the new formats in their best light.")
This isn't what any of your follow-up e-mails state, with which I agree wholeheartedly.
