Just received some of the SHM SACDs including the SHM SACD Sampler. Loved the Getz & Gilberto and 10cc tracks on the sampler. Very detailed and rich sonics there.

You have to. It sounds prettier than it looks.

I'm a firm believer in, "You can't take it with you." I also have paid king's ransoms for certain titles. The paranoia of did the seller just re-seal a disc case with nothing in there also makes me open the new title purchases.

I thought I would check the dates of my last SACD and DVD-Audio purchases. Are things really this dead? My last SACD purchase was June 2008 and my last DVD-Audio purchase was Steve Wilsons disc back in February 2009. So sad.....

How about the rest of you?

My last five discs: Porcupine Tree - The Incident (DVD-A), King Crimson - Red, Lizard, In The Court Of The Crimson King (all DVD-As), and Chicago - Chicago Transit Authority (Rhino Handmade Quadradisc) which has the DVD Audio logo on the disc and the package, but is in fact DTS and Dolby only. In four-channel sound, of course. In my humble opinion, these are all examples of some of the better surround discs in DVD format that are out there. In particular, what Steven Wilson did with the King Crimson releases is amazing.

I've got seven of the SHM SACDs, and I'd have to say I like Steely Dan - Aja and The Police - Synchronicity the best so far. It's looking like two-channel all the way though, unfortunately.

Thanks for the added paranoia. I did not think of that!

That's what all the reviews I have read say. I am thinking of just flipping it though.

Dire Straits SHM SACD arrived 2 days ago. It took about 20 minutes to get the disk sleeve out of the "case". It was stuck somehow. I did all kinds of things to loosen it, then all of a sudden it came loose on it's own.

I didn't know 'Tommy' was also released as a DualDisc ?

Did I miss something?

DualDiscs are 'flippers'. They play both sides.

I know you meant to turn around and sell it... you might get more enjoyment from the disc listening to it than the $30 you would get for it.

I think the guy's talking about flipping, or reselling, his unopened Eagles Hotel California dvd-a.

I agree whole-heartedly!
