New DVD-Audio music releases and talk about the latest players.

Re: according to this article: DVD-Audio's would sell on average 3 times as many per title than SACD as

What's to listen to??? There are world-class orchestras and regional orchestras; not that all regional orchestras are bad, but if one has a choice: SACD Mahler with MTT/SFO, Chailly/Concertgebouw; or The Utah Community Orchestra on Vanguard DVDA? Vaughan Williams on Vanguard with the Utah again, or with Hickox/LSO on Chandos, (though PCM originals--for the love of God make the future Chandos/Hickox Sea Symphony and Symphony 7 releases DSD masters.) Silverline's "Romantic Classical Moments series? No. Grieg on Naxos, via PCM to SACD, or Grieg with Grieg's own orchestra on BIS DSD? The two Beethoven cycles on DVDA by big names Barenboim and Rattle were pretty-much panned. SACD has kept much of the same family of artists and engineers so that the jump wasn't so hard. With the release of MLP and RCA Living Presence, even the geezer brigade has jumped on to the SACD player band wagon, going by indications on another classical posting list, they're beginning to inquire about players. Are you ready for this? (Better sit down.) If the formats were reversed, and all the Classical SACD titles available to me today (now)were on DVDA, I would own a DVDA player. Sometimes things just turn out differently.
