I am a fan of SACD but...

I'm not sure what your point is really.

On my own equipment, which is neither the best nor the worst, the best SACDs are definitely better to my ears than the best CDs.

However, the selection of music on SACD has always been extremely limited. And although you can blame any sort of conspiracy you want, the fact is, audio quality is not of much importance in the marketplace. It never has been.

So you still, as always, have to get the music you like in whatever form it happens to be available. For me, as for most people these days, that is the CD format for MOST music.

I would really be happy if the best music always came out with the best sound quality, formats aside. But this has never been the case and never will be.

And as far as your melodramatic "so much better than even the most expensive redbook rig." Have you heard the most expensive redbook? I doubt it.
