Martin,If You didn't care, you wouldn't respond to his posts. Your defensive posture on nearly every post of this thread makes you sound like ZS KEKL with better command of the language, but with just as foolish an obsession with a single format as him (her?).
This forum has been completely highjacked by this "Love" release.

The two(?) of you seem intent on arguing about formats in a general sense when I would guess a vast majority of both posters and lurkers on the Forum are uninterested. For that group, in which I place myself, what is more valiable is the discussion of: what's already available and good, or ok, or should be skipped; what's comming out (something KEKL almost does well); hardware issues.You have to admit that KEKL's loony rants represent about 33% of the activity on this board (hence the numbers of posts TO him or ABOUT him) and you represent another 10%. Nearly all of those (on this "page" at least) are about the "Love" recording.
and I pose that you are more concerned about personalities than DVDA titles, technical issues or market trends. I have merely been separating fact from fiction.
If I was interested in personalities, I'd be a long way from the likes of you and Mssr. KEKL. My system(s) are listed, and from that list one can deduce "format preferences," if indeed I have one (here's some help for you: one of my digital sources plays SACD, and two of my digital sources play DVD-A).In your efforts to "separate fact from fiction," you have missed the forest for a lone tree (as we're writing in cliche). You don't have to hard-sell a format to those who have already bought in...
You may have the last word, Martin: there's not much of interest here for me.
I'm not some lurking troll, and please don't associate me with KEKL or anyone else. As for my system, I'm not hiding anything, and I'm not ashamed of any equipment I own. If you'd asked me what it was I'd have told you. Anyway, if you had done a simple search, you'd have found it described here on this forum's archive.And yes, it plays SACD, DVDA, and everything else! OK, I'll make it easy for you. You can view some pics of it at top of p13 on Club Rotel. You can see I have quite a lot of hirez music (photo taken 2 years ago, and now I've got about 60 more DVDAs & SACDs). Unlike some vociferous posters here who have none whatsoever. ;-)
nice car!!
I'll break my own rule because you have missed the mark here by quite a bit. I really think you misunderstood my post: "tit-for-tat" wasn't even on the radar. It was you, if you'll recall, who questioned whether I was interested in hi-rez. If YOU had bothered to do the same type of search (actually, easier) that you accused me of being unable to do for you, you too would have found information that contradicts your earlier assessment.I am certainly willing to concede that you are a more serious forum participant than Mssr. KEKL could ever be, but that doesn't excuse you from over-the-top preaching to the already-converted. I certainly didn't accuse you of trolling, nor did I imply that you should be embarrassed by whatever equipment you may own. You are projecting if you think I did.

... and he never fails to meet or exceed my expectations. He really is quite funny ... and he is a fellow Canadian ... although I guess that doesn't say much for the level of intellect in our country.
A Canadian psychologist has discoved something very unsettling about Canadian teens....
Nope, just the original Hi-Rez format.
The music industry doesn't care what I think? I'm an increasingly rare dinosaur of a consumer armed and ready to spend quite a substantial amount of money on a high-end digital player of some sort, and the software to go with it. If they ever get their act together.And yes, I understand, "several HUNDRED thousand downloads." Anyone in the music industry whose future pay is tied up in packaged media better be shaking in their boots. I know bean counters Martin.
Man, I haven't gotten a Brit this mad since I dared say that Sir Simon Rattle wasn't that great an artist.

Download-music *sales* is a growing opportunity. So is DVD 5.1 surround for domestic 5.1 audio systems. They are completely different markets.
