In Reply to: SACD bombed very, very badly. So, posted by tinear on May 15, 2007 at 07:46:14:
check the availability of SACD titles on Amazon or CD Universe. Also can look on eBay. Most classical SACDs are going like hotcakes with several bids if the price is $10 or below. I guess people are buying them to throw in a trash can with contempt...I am emphatic with those who say CD is better than SACD. To spend a fortune on buying and modding a CD player only to see that the superior format is taking hold, that's a real bomber.
And two channel is so much better than five, folks!

Under what circumstances? Perhaps you may feel the recording quality of the MCH mix is a mess a large percentage of the time? Perhaps it's too expensive for the equipment and one needs the proper amount of room also but that doesn't mean 2 channel is better than five!Given the right equipment, 5 channel slaughters 2 channel especially with these DSD recordings. Also, off topic but I much rather watch DVD in 5.1 than 2 channel any day!
One thing though I agree on which is an eye opener that one cannot discount is the number of SACDs that can be had on the used market for $10 and below.
But you can hear people saying that seriously.One thing clear though that hi end industry at large does not have a technologic capacity for 5 channel SACD. That's why they are stubbornly peddling 2 channels and engage reviewers on their payroll to convince the public that 5 channels are not needed.
And are now home theater shops where the stronger market currently lies. This will happen more and more whereby the hi-fi shops for two channel audio already a niche will even be less than that.
