New to these formats and finding it difficult to find any titles locally. Where are the best places to find these formats online?

Re: where do you buy your dvd-a & SACD music?

These three are dedicated to audiophiles. Great selection but expect to pay full price:

Acoustic Sounds
Elusive Disc
Music Direct

Many of the on-line retailers still have decent stock, these are the ones I typically buy from:

CD Universe
CD Connection
CD Pacific

I buy from Amazon.com and .ca, occasionally .fr or .co.uk (US, Canada, France and Britain). I've also purchased from JPC in Germany.

I occasionally find some classical selections locally in stores, but about 85% of my overall (200 titles combined SACD/DVD-A) have been online purchases.

Never try to teach a pig to sing. It wastes time, and it annoys the pig.

Re: where do you buy your dvd-a & SACD music?

When I started purchasing SACD and DVD-A, I picked up about 60 titles from yourmusic.com. Now there are not many left from that service but there are a few at $6.99. I have picked up about 50 titles used online, eBay, Amazon marketplace, and the various forums including this one are some examples of sites I recall using. Local used CD stores if you have any are worth checking out. Entertainmart often has a few as does CD Warehouse, FYE and others.

The Fry's in my area is letting the DVD-A/SACD section die. It was my favorite place to buy. Now it's pretty much all on-line.
