I was selling audio equipment in the 80's and I think that audio companies did too good a job then in convincing the public that CD sound was perfect. When DVD came out, the pubic assumed the same. I think the general public was very skeptical about the idea that CD sound could be improved upon and is far more interested in things like Dolby surround, and getting "near CD sound" out of their MP3. Most would doubt that they could hear the difference. The fact that you had two competing systems did not help.

I did manage to find a Pat Matheny DVD-A disk for $1 at a thrift store, so this really may be the best time to get into DVD-A! Plus this thing does really nice Redbook. I have been buying a lot of really nice CD's for $1. I was just listening to the Essential Santana. The mix seem much more base heavy that I remember the vinyl, but it did not stop the music form getting to me. It went beyond toe-taping to full-on get-up-and-dance! I had forgotten how good he is. I think I got my dollar's worth. If you haven't guessed already, I am having fun with this thing!
