Don't plan to convert until: a) There is a clear winner in the format wars, b) The price comes down to reasonable levels, and c) The library offers something more than retreads.

Coltrane's Olé. The title cut transcends the already transcendent "A Love Supreme."

Fine tunning an stereo system is hard enought, do it properly takes tons of money and time. Fine tunning a surround system, in a normal size room, I believe would be almost impossible if timbral accuracy, dynamics and other important parameters are taken into consideration. Buying a pair of musical loudspeakers is expesive enought, buying 4-6 speakers, plus a subwoofer, for a surround system with the same quality would be out of the reach of most audiophiles, unless I am missing something.

DVD-A has the potential to be something special. I will consider anything not watermarked or copy protected.

George Bethel's picture

None, until the copy protection issues are resolved (and not on my back) and the high-rez players include digital outputs. It wouldn't matter if they gave the trash away.

Greg Mavraedis's picture

The Beatles. All of their recordings.

Robert C.  Conrad's picture

The Jimi Hendrix catalog, the Grand Funk catalog, the Rush catalog, the Led Zeppelin catalog, the Beatles catalog, the King Crimson catalog, early Wishbone Ash, early Black Sabbath (Ozzy era), Ten Years After: A Space in Time, ZZ Top: Tres Hombres, Fleetwood Mac: Then Play On, and Duke Ellington at Newport Jazz Festival (complete, in stereo).

David Schwartz's picture

The Beatles catalogue, including all of the original EMI stereo and mono mixes of the LPs.

more music

Chris Chandler's picture

The Beatles: Sgt. Pepper's. Kiss: Destroyer.

Bill McMillan's picture

More popular music. Flood the market with multilayer, then introduce more cheap machines people could buy at Wal-Mart.

While I may eventually buy an SACD player, even if everything was on SACD, I think it would be absurd for me to replace all of my CDS with SACDs.

Lights Out by UFO an unknown classic rock album of the 70's.

I would like to see more contempary Jazz, and more R&B, and popular music! Classical music controls the new formats. In America the percentage of people that listen to classical music is very small comparied to all the other types of music. If the Sony wants this format to replace the CD, they need to sell to the mass of the people!

Cameron M.  Wood's picture

all music by 'Dead Can Dance'

Like many people my age, I'm not really into classical or jazz. But I do like well recorded music. Thats hard to come by in rock and pop. I do own a sacd player, but unforturnatly I havn't found many titles I've heard of yet alone like. It would be great if the new bands out there or even in the last ten years would come out with some stereo sacd's. Dave Mathews Band would be awsome.

V.  Glew's picture

HELLO! I bought my favorites on vinyl and then on CD when they came out. More recently, I repurchased those titles when they were remastered. That's it, I'm done rebuying the classics. I may well buy a new format player whenever one comes out on top, but it won't be to repurchase all the old classics. It'll be for the new stuff.
