NO, but I read many music and hi-fi periodicals and see all the vendors catalogs too, its not a market of dance tracks or new title SACDs, it a big reissue market of specially pressed discs, mostly 180gram vinyl. DVDa is already dead, and SACD is nearly dead, vinyl is resurging. And even when DVDA and SACD where doing better, they werent selling much new titles, it was mostly reissues of legacy material with better than CD sound for digital fans.
Regarding "proof" to back up my contentions, where?s the "proof" for yours concerning nre release SACD or dance tracks outselling legacy vinyl reissues???? My burden of proof is no greater than yours. One of the reasons the legacy reissues are thriving is many of the highly desireable older titles are very expensive on the collector market in higher grade conditions, hence the reissues for those who don't or cant pay the big bucks for nice clean originals of the "classics". -- J.C.
