I heard SACD for the first time today: MTT's Mahler 3rd in 2 channel
sound on a modestly-priced player and system.  I have to use the hackneyed
phrase: it sounded as though a veil was lifted.  It made me want to throw
my CD collection away, and this, after committing my emotions to a $3000
CD player.

To all you CM industry insiders out there: Is SACD inevitable?  Can I
expect to be able to match my present collection's depth before I'm 80
and my ears have eroded to 16-bit in the meantime?

Just had to share my enthusiasm.
