RE: TV people have never and will never care about audio.

Yeah I hear ya. But the average guy never did that even at the height of the HT craze in the mid-late 90's.

About the only people who cared about audio at a TV station were the editors. We loved our near-field active, bi-amped Genelecs and the audio we could get off those Sony Beta SP machines was sweet.

But by the time both the audio and the video went through at least three generations of losses (two during editing and one through transmission) the quality degraded a lot.

I was always amazed at how good NTSC video looked and sounded when played off a Sony 1-inch reel to reel video tape machine compared to how crappy it was by the time it got to the viewer's home.
