I don't think that vinyl is an audiophile-only product: it's the

for SACD is that it doesn't have that market.




True but it is multi-channel and supports fans of multi-channel


remixes of old stereo recordings that were done in multi track. Not


my cup of tea but it is a meaningful market




Hmm, I'm not sure about that any mo recent hi-res multichannel

releases I've bought have been Blu-Ray or DVD.

Here is the listings at Acoustic Sounds
http://store.acousticsounds.com/c/4/SACD
1,632 titles on SACD
http://store.acousticsounds.com/inde...&categoryID=10
794 titles of multi channel SACDs
http://store.acousticsounds.com/c/6/DVD
120 DVD and BluRay titles combined 50 of which are just plain DVDs as in movies.

Looks to me like in the audiophile world the SACDs are the format that is thriving.
