In Reply to: You can't fix stupid. The next batch of SACD's will have video? posted by Duilawyer on June 15, 2008 at 08:33:02:

Here is your entire post:

"Currently SACD doesn't have an option for Video." LOL
Maybe the next batch??
SACD ver 1.1?
Always the optimist. Like Hillary is just "suspending" her campaign."

I said "Currently SACD doesn't have an option for Video." and "Extra data (Text, Graphics & Videos) is in the original specification." Anyone, anywhere is free to add Video to an SACD as there is space reserved for it, but I do not believe anyone will. So I selected the DVD-Audio version instead of the SACD version of Tommy to get the interview with Pete Townshend. Not sure why you are having a hard time understand this simple reason?

SACD is not dead for Classical and Jazz, it's just new Rock releases are getting scarce.

I gave up a long ago trying to find everything I want in any single format. I listen to DVD-Audio, DVD-Video, SACD, CD, MP3. 24/96 WAV, 16/44/1 WAV, LP, Cassette and Reel to Reel. I feel no need to limit myself anymore. Overall I do prefer analog over digital but I do have some superb digital recordings in all the various digital formats. As I have said before "I practice format promiscuity, but I prefer analog LP, cassette and reel to reel the best." So you see a single format for me just will not do.

In the old days I listened only to 4 Track 7 1/2 IPS Reel to Reel, then in the mid 1970's high fidelity cassettes came along and I sold my reel to reel and bought audiophile cassettes only then CD came out and I sold all my cassettes and bought the Sony CDP-101 "unheard" before it even appeared on Dealer shelves as I wanted "perfect sound forever". I sold all my cassettes and my Nakamichi deck to raise the $900 I needed for the deck and few hundred more to get started on software. Well the Sony CDP-101 sucked big time, CD at that time sucked big time and this was the biggest mistake of my life and last time I believed advertisers!

Anyway after trading in the CDP-101 I never had a single format again, I have had favorites. The closest I came to single format was when I first adopted SACD, I had SACDs and 24/96 DADs and then I sold the DADs so I only had SACDs for home and cassettes for the Car. SACDs and Cassettes was it for a couple of years. Since finding a mint Nakamichi at the Thrift store I now can play my cassettes at home as well as in the car. Now I have and play anything, turns out no format has everything I want.

I the old days I had to sell off my hardware and recordings to try another format and thus could only afford one format at a time. Some of the richer people here don't understand that poor working folks don't have money growing on trees. As my music collection grew I discovered I didn't have to sell all of my recordings to purchase new hardware, I only had to weed out my least favorites to raise the money needed. You might say thanks to eBay I can now afford multiple formats.

Music is love,

Teresa
