I don't think there is any SACD manufacturing in the USA. THere was capability at Sony's Indiana plant when SACD first came out, but as I understand it, only Sony Japan still has SACD manufacturing. The discs made in Austria were made by BMG.

Still waiting for "MADE IN U.S.A.". --- On Thu, 2/28/13, Roger Kulp <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > From: Roger Kulp <[log in to unmask]> > Subject: Re: [ARSCLIST] late LP era classical records > To: [log in to unmask] > Date: Thursday, February 28, 2013, 4:24 AM > As for getting them cheap,it > depends.The Dutch pressed CBS Masterworks,on the silver-grey > label,and the very last DGG Lps,circa 1990-92 are quite > expensive.Do an artist based search on popsike.com,and you > might be surprised.Even the James Levine records of these > years,can easily bring $50 and up.Others are well into the > three figures.I wonder if some of this isn't due to the > Asian market,but still I can tell you they do not turn up > that much.
