No more SACD at my BB

My local best buy had a fairly large SACD DVD-A selection until yesterday. I stopped by and the entire section was gone. I wandered around looking to see if they were moved and I finally found them all piled on one of those little shop carts. I guess they moving them to the dumpster or just mixing them back in with the redbook stuff.

pretty much the same here... they are all but gone from the store shelves now. So with that said.. even though their selection was horrible here.. I no longer have any local store that carries SACD or even more rare DVD-A. sign of the times I guess.PolkFest 2012, who's going>?

It's sad really. The best format out there, IMO and nobody hardly carries it. All of the local shops and retail outlets don't carry them and will not carry them. The only store I have found in Charlotte after 66 miles of travel last fall when I found out about SACD was a shop called Manifest. It's about the size of a Target, or large supermarket. With all that they have in that store (probably millions) of CD's / LP's and all other current formats, they have one section devoted to SACD, right behind the DVD-A section. The total amount of space in this vast amount of selections is approximately one square foot containing, on average, one to two SACD's and 16-20 DVD-A's.
Good thing is that they have EXCELLENT ordering prices for SACD's and it usually only takes a week or so to get them if hey are not back ordered or no longer in production.
I guess my point is......get used to it. Everybody in the city of Charlotte has.~ In search of accurate reproduction of music. Real sound is my reference and while perfection may not be attainable? If I chase it, I might just catch excellence. ~ -

About a year or so ago the BBs in Michigan started mixing them in with the redbook stuff. good luck
