Well, yes. So what are their sales, then? I can't find out. However,
there seem only to be threee pressing plants capable of making them,
so there can't be many.

The last thing we need is a niche audiophile-only format.

Well, while it's probably not the LAST thing we need (that would be
another manufacturer of $4000+ one-meter interconnect cables ), it is a
niche audiophile market, just like vinyl.
