Some interesting stats on my hi-rez collection

Hi-Rez Highway

New high resolution SACD releases, players and technology.

As the year draw to close, I thought it might be interesting to analyze my hi-rez collection (SA-CD + DVD-Audio).
Current size of collection: just under 400 titles. This breaks down to about 40% classical, 30% jazz and "the rest". Of these, around 70 are DVD-Audios (including a handful of DualDiscs) - the rest are SA-CDs.
The first title was bought in late 2001 and was a DVD-Audio (Pat Metheny Group Imaginary Day). This was followed by a few SA-CDs in late 2001 (first one was So Real by Warren Bernhardt).
Interestingly, nearly 75% of the titles feature a multi-channel audio track, so it was definitely worthwhile investing in m-ch playback. This was a much higher ratio than I would have guessed.
Total spent to date: nearly A$10,000 (in 2006, around A$1,300). Biggest spending was in 2003, when I bought around 110 titles. Last two years I have been averaging around 50-60 titles per year.
PS - all these statistics are provided courtesy of Catraxx, which I have been using to catalogue my discs.

I wonder if Metralla was counting the Living Stereos as stereo - Christine Tham 03:50:42 12/31/06 (0)
