I think BMG said they had sold about a million of the Living Stereo series all told so far. Sorry, I can't reember where I read that. Maybe if they made the slightest attempt to market the SACD, it might sell a bit better. 99% of potential customers have never heard of it. The other problem is that only well recorded content really benefits. Regards -- Don Cox [log in to unmask]
