SACDs in Dublin

Blisterman

Does anyone know where I can buy these in Dublin?

I just got a player, and I listened to Dark Side of the Moon on it. It's amazing quality. I want to hear some more. HMV and Tower have a small selection, but its mixed in with the normal CDs. Does anyone know a store in Dublin with a selection of them, I can browse?

stupid question, whats an SACD?

Super Audio Compact Disc

They can be played on most compact disc players, but sound best on an SACD player - with surround sound if possible.

If you don't have that sort of set up an sacd should still sound better than a regular cd. The quality of the sound is very much dependent on the equipment, but then it always has been.

Tower has a collection of Classical SACDs and DVD-A's. I have bought two SACDs for €8 each from second hand shops around town, I think people buy them and don't realise what they are or can't play them (in the case of DVD-A) on their system, so sell them off cheap.

There's lots of shops on the net specialising in SACDs and DVD-A's, but I can't be arsed to search for them

www.play.com has a limited selection

the only one i've gotten is Nine Inch Nails' special 10 year anniversary edition of "the downward spiral", which is everywhere. i've not really gone out in search of them because i don't have an SACD player (just got that NIN one because of the bonus disc/improved sound quality)

I got the new Rory Gallagher best of. It's really good.
