Same sort of thing in MVC (?) St Ives, Cambs - I asked the two (female)
assistants doing *not a lot* behind the counter if they had any SACDs a
year or two back and got blank looks from both of them. (No wonder SACDs
didn't take off!!)


SACDs would have taken off had they satisfied a consumer demand, but they
didn't. Too often the big consumer electronics comapanies get off on the
cleverness of their new technology and forget that the product has to offer
the consumer something (s)he is willing to pay for. SACD simply didn't do
that.

That said, had the major labels both supported hybrids and stopped
producing cds, few would have complained and the real benefits such as
multi-channel capability would have been available.
