The complete set of 22 Rolling Stones recordings from the ABKCO label are set to be released as SACD/CD hybrid discs over the next few weeks. Will this give SACD a boost in the marketplace?
Industry representatives for both SACD and DVD-Audio claim they are not in a format war with each other. Do you disagree with them?
Last week we singled out DVD-Audio, which clearly has left readers wondering, when it comes to promotion. This week we get to see if SACD has done any better. Has SACD been marketed properly?
DVD-Audio appears to be having a tough time gaining traction in the market, audiophile or otherwise. Any suggestions for getting its motor started? (We'll pick on SACD next week).
It's been over a year since we last asked this one, so we're very interested in what trends might have emerged. DVD-Audio and SACD have seen new titles and machines hit the market, but we're wondering how many of you are buying in.
Some folks have to hear the sound of the plastic wrap snapping off every time they get a new disc, while others just want to save some dough. Do used CDs find their way into your collection?
In response to last week's question about name brands, many of you mentioned customer service as very important. Do you have an example of outstanding customer service from an audio company?

We all know that how a product <I>sounds</I> is the ultimate audiophile criterion. But reader Pete Montgomery wonders how important build-quality and appearance are as well.
We were surprised at the results from last week's vote to see that so many readers have separate two-channel systems. So we're curious: where have you set up <I>your</I> main music system?
