My only clue that proved to me that Sony was pulling the plug on SACD
was with Thomas Schippers' recording of Alexander Nevsky by Prokofiev.
For ages it was not available on CD. About a year ago it came out on a
single layer SACD. Fast forward to a few weeks ago. I wander into
Tower, and see that Sony has released onto CD a series of "Great
Performances" ....and there it was.....all remastered in great sound,
and at a amazing low price of $7.99!!!! For me, that was the sign that
resisting had paid off. Thank you Sony, for saving me money on
equipment. So long SACD (and DVD-A for that matter), it's been great
not knowing you.


Well, in a similar vein, all of the recent Bob Dylan SACDs (which were Sony
hybrids) have now been rereleased in CD-only format.

One might ask: why?
