There are topics of interest other than KEKL's posts, but the moderators apparently feel that they need to be heavy handed about other types of related discussions. So of course there isn't much of other interest.Yes, at the moment KEKL is the primary contibutor - but he actually does contribute information. The members who attack him do so because they think it is some form of game (by their own admission), but that seems to be ok with the moderators.
One of the reasons is that MLP technology is heading in new directions, and that is what this forum should also be about, especially when the discussion is on the audio component.
Hi-rez releases of Live concerts is more relevant to members of this forum, IMO, than they are to members of the Video forum. I listened to the Heart concert yesterday and it was unquestionable hi-rez audio, even if the mixes were muddy as is often the case with live concerts - but even with those there were excellent moments in that concert.
The fact that it also contains stunning video of the band playing that music does not stop the fact that the music is what is of interest to members of this forum.
Follow Ups:
Sorry if I did, I've been on vacation. Could you explain to me what happened?Even if I did miss something (and I apologize to you if I did), I still don't understand even the idea of a war between format proponents at this stage in the (non)development of high resolution formats. Just seems incredibly short-sighted and inevitably self-destructive (sort of like nuclear war).
A thread about video players was moved to the Video Asylum, and Dr. Octo seems to be quite upset over this.
MLP is for audio purposes and even if it is part of an AV package, AV also includes Audio, therefore discussions on the hi-rez Audio portion and harware related to it should be allowed on this forum.You apparently think there are way too many threads to weed through in this forum and could not stand discussions related to new MLP capable hardware devices.

and I come down on the side of the move.At one point, you stated that you were interested in all high resolution formats, and that's why you think MLP ought to be a part of the DVD-Audiobahn. Well, if that's the case, then SACD should be part of this Forum too. Oops, we all know where that got us.
Can I play this new stuff on my DVD-A player? No? Then it doesn't belong here...
Both DVD-Audio and TrueHD are derived from MLP. SACD is an entirely different technology (which I also support), but since they were competing with each technology wise, it made some sense to break them up - though since they both give great hi-rez audio, I personally feel that they could have stayed together.However, there is no such war between DVD-Audio and TrueHD, in fact one is the technological successor to the other. Because of that succession, it makes sense to me that it is of interest to some of us on this forum - and lets face it, not all discussions are of interest to everybody so if some like Racerguy can't countenance any variation in the discussions on this forum, he has the choice to skip over them.
