Online DVD Audio / SACD retailer....?

Hi all

I'm very new to DVDA & SACD - my home cinema is only a couple of weeks from completion - and I want to take advantage of the DVDA & SACD formats. Trouble is I am having problems finding any good online retailers. Amazon, CD Wow and Play are all a bit hit and miss when searching for stuff - who do you guys use?

Thanks in advance

Si

I tend to use play in the UK or www.dvdpacific.com / www.cdpacific.com from the US. They are very cheap and packages tend to take about a week

Although now that I think about it, I haven't bought an SACD or DVD-A for ages....there's been very little of interest out recently 2 formats with so much potential

... yes flooded on both counts I also use cduniverse.com based in the US ...
The record companies appear to have decided SACD & DVD-A are niche markets with no potential - Jeff Wayne's War of The Worlds is a classic example - lots of ads on TV etc but no mention of it being a Hybrid SACD with Surround Sound! ... fortunately some companies continue to release back catalogue stuff & as an ageing rock fan that'll have to do for the mean time

Check out the other sellers on amazon.co.uk. You can get most DVD-As and SACD for around £8-£9. I tend to use Caiman USA and never yet had a problem
