it would be to our advantage to promote sacd by having these items available and priced to sell. as of now, the sony dvd/sacd/cdps are a bargain (got my ns500v for $161 delivered).
publicity is what we need for this format to succeed. pop science mag put an expensive shanling in their mag and while its spectacular to look at, the verbiage to describe it was shocking. tubes dont handle 'high end frequencies' well!?? ooops, the shot us in the foot. people now will believe that SACDPs are expensive and soft sounding.
well john, i hope this rings a bell for you. hi rez awareness needs to be boosted a bunch, heres our chance.
