Being the label stopped making them, you are left to see what is available on retail shelves. You could try places like Best Buy, Borders, Circuit City, etc. Best Buy sometimes has a hi-rez section, but you need to look in the regular CD section. I've seen various out-of-print Stones SACDs at each of the above recently. Not tons of them but one or a few mixed in with the regular CDs,

Hey Paul,

The Living Stereo SACD's are also $10 at Best Buy even though the sticker price is higher.

simplicity is genius...

Thanks but I live in the sticks source-wise.....Future Shop here has nadda. Same for A&B Sound (West Coast chain) 30 miles away. All my SACD/DVDA purchasing is done online. We have a Paradigm Signature / Anthem Statement Dealer here but I cannot buy a SACD

Just ordered the Eagles Hotel California on DVD-A since I have access to one for a while. If I like it, it'll give me some more reason to spring for a Marantz universal player in the fall. Annoyingly, though, I won't have enough slots on my HK receiver to use it for a DVD player, since my Xbox 360 HD and the PS3 eat up all my component slots.

Say You Will - Fleetwood Mac (DVD-A)
Picked this one up at the local used music store for $4.50. Disc is in excellent condition, although that can't be said for the case.

Live in Concert 2007 - Tsai Chin (SACD)
This release is significant in that it marks Hong Kong Universal Music's return to SACD and it is the company's first SACD release in almost 2 years. Her music was prominently featured in "Infernal Affair", later remade by Hollywood as "The Departed".

SACD not listed at sa-cd.net (updated 10/17/2008)
