>> Nearly two years after I bought a machine there are still no titles in the high street<<Not true. It depends where you look. I have seen them -- even in the UK. In the US, try: Best Buy, Tower Records, Circuit City etc. Two years after CD's first release they could still only be found in specialist shops/music departments. And as for SACD, well, I still don't see many of those around, and that format's had 1.5 years longer than DVD-A!
>>The 15 discs I have all sound as bad as they did the day I bought them.<<
Which ones did you buy? I have almost 40 DVD-As. Some are not so good, but many are truly excellent. Overall, sound quality is FAR better than CD.
>>Every disc has a fundamental error in recording production.<<
Such as? And can you name a format where all discs are "perfectly" produced?
>>They don't fit on my shelf properly, mostly being larger packaging than the surrounding CDs.<<
In that case, 20 years ago, you must have had a BIG problem with stacking LPs, 45rpm singles, and cassettes etc.!
BTW, I've got one shelf stacked end-to-end with CDs.
The shelf below it is stacked with DVD-As. I've got no problems with that arrangement. Plus, the size difference means I won't get them mixed up.
