I don't want to start an argument here, but if Sony did a better job on it, putted more money for advertising and keep the prices lower than cds, more poeple would have been convinced about it, maybe not an hardcore vinyl fan like me, (I don't want to enter in an unfruitful discussion about what medium sounds better), but the average customers, because the success of a format is not on jazz and classical audiophile listener (that are a niche). If all the new musical issues would have been on Hybrid SACD, if if..., we all lost an occasion, but I blame Sony for that.
But I do start an argument, sorry about that!
Feel free to drop it, in Greg absentia.
