If SACD were readily available, it would be like it was for me when CD first came out. I may have had a player by now, but I'd be on this huge learning curve, once again, in determining which players are any good (if they exist), and which recordings are as well (if such recordings exist). But the lack of selection makes me think it isn't worth the trouble. At least for now.

I think my initial ordeal with CD is why I'm so hesitant with new formats. Even more so than the limited selection of recordings. (If I thought SACD sounded fabulous, I'd definitely be using one now, and talking about it like I talk about Don Allen's products.) Remember, I once thought there was no such thing as "good-sounding CD playback" as well, until that "Wadia 7/9" experience. The only difference with high-rez is that it won't be likely that I'll purchase anything until such experience occurs, if it were to happen.
