I read on the net that there are 2 million SACD players in households
world-wide. There is also a new article in Stereophile regarding SACD.
It's selling 3 times as fast as DVD-A. The the sales graphs are looking
like they did when CD took off. There is a Pioneer for $159; whether
it sounds good or not, I don't know. Have you had a chance to hear one
yet in just two channel? It changes everything! I'm jumping in and
hoping for the best.
Here's what finally did it: (A true story. Really.) I looked at my opera
collection and asked myself. Could I ever expect to see an SACD release
of something as beloved but obscure as Bartok's Bluebeard? Low and
behold it's out with Ivan Fischer.
