Would anyone care to hold me back? I am not switching to SACD for any supposed improvement. My system is probably not at a level to discern the difference. What is drawing me is the music. I'm tired of going to Best Buy or Sam Goody and seeing the crap that is being turned out on DVD-A. I mean Insane Clown Posse...this band is a joke! Motorhead, Bob Marley Tribute Albums, etc. It seems like they are emptying the catalogs of the dreck and seeing if they can make a buck or two off it. Yes I have some good DVD-A's, Fleetwood Mac, ELP, Blue Man Group, Queen, etc., but SACD scored a big win with DSOTM, they've got the Stones, The Police, Peter Gabriel. I just can't take another DVD-A from some obscure and otherwise lackluster artist. This format will not suceeed without good music.
Sorry about the rant. I really don't want to see either format go belly up, but something has got to give.
