What do you think he's kidding about?
Reaching the limits of sound reproduction thats what.
Well the part about seedee NOT surpassing vinyl is VERY true.
Why?
Why, because most of the time vinyl will beat seedee. Not ALL of the time, well, you get the drift.....
misunderstood. Why do you think that cd will never surpass vinyl?
Do YOU think it will?
"Well the part about seedee NOT surpassing vinyl is VERY true." I'm just trying to get you to expand on this absolute claim thats all. Not trying to attack.
"Well the part about seedee NOT surpassing vinyl is VERY true."that may be your opinion, based on your experience. i have a far different opinion, based on my own experience. i've heard the apl nwo 2.5 and it absolutely betters any vinyl rig i've heard. to say that sacd has "bombed very very badly" is rediculous imho. they're still being produced and sold. it might be more accurate to say that sacd isn't as popular as it could be. most folks i know outside of the audiophile comunity don't even know what an sacd is, let alone dvda.
implementations showed us that Redbook reproduction and SACD and DVD-A discs, and what plays them back, can still be improved. SACD, DVD-A, and Redbook recordings vary in quality. I have some great recordings in Redbook, - (like Monty Montgomery, Lila Downs and Kevin Johannsen), - that surpass many "average" SACDs and DVD-As. I also have some DVD-As that have been remastered and are a great improvement over the previous recordings of that material. It is pretty rare that I don't find a DVD-A or SACD and some Redbook that are better than their vinyl counterparts; or at least a sub $20K vinyl rig. IMO, - one just can't buy a sub $20K vinyl rig that will compete of your favorite flavor of the top of the line Universal players...One cannot "blame" SACD and DVD-A failure on a vinyl vs 5" disc quality issue. Rather, it's those 5 or 6 big issues about the value of the music and the lack of interest in acquiring a quality music listening experience..
