Strangely enough, I find myself owning a SACD player in 2007 - 4season 19:36:48 08/31/07 (5)

I plan on buying ANOTHER today. - Duilawyer 13:25:21 09/01/07 (2)

Or just have a technician adjust and clean the drive heads. - oscar 20:46:39 09/01/07 (0)

Which One? - Robertc88 14:32:10 09/01/07 (0)

Unless I'm mistaken, you'll only be able to get 2-channel SACD from the PS3's two (2) analog outputs. - oscar 22:23:28 08/31/07 (1)

But Jazz, I thought you were in favor of peaceful coexistance between both sides now that we're in a format war. - Audiophilander 11:48:41 08/31/07 (1)

I supported an alternative to HD DVD just as I supported an alternative to DVD-A - Jazz Inmate 12:14:17 08/31/07 (0)

Laser disc isn't a good comparison. It was marketed as a high-quality alternative to VHS - Jazz Inmate 12:18:14 08/31/07 (21)

Its a very good comparison - Jack G 12:44:31 08/31/07 (20)

Laserdisc's competitor was DVD, which thoroughly kicked its butt once introduced - Jazz Inmate 13:00:08 08/31/07 (19)

Sorry, but Jack is correct. - Audiophilander 14:31:30 08/31/07 (5)

Auph, there is just so much there that's wrong in your post it would take me all day to correct you - Jazz Inmate 15:55:22 08/31/07 (4)

There was no such thing as laserdisc in 1978 - Jazz Inmate 13:48:45 08/31/07 (10)

I guess the LaserDisc demonstration I attended at MyerEmco in Washington DC in early 1979 was imaginary - racerguy 16:07:47 08/31/07 (5)

You said 1978. I said 1980 (which incidently is when the format was actually first marketed as LaserDisc) - Jazz Inmate 16:25:06 08/31/07 (4)

Even without DVD-A, SACD was doomed in an MP-3 world. nt - oscar 11:08:41 08/31/07 (1)
