In Reply to: did you really learn nothing from watching what happened to SACD and DVD-A? posted by Jazz Inmate on December 19, 2007 at 16:37:39:
Apparently you didn't either. They put out crap on SACD that most people didn't want. I bought into it, but stopped after 6 months, because there was nothing I wanted on the format. I bought maybe a dozen SACDs. That was it.
