Sometime, convenience can come to the sacrifice of quality. At least, at first, before the new convenient technologies have had a chance to evolve and improve. I no longer watch movies via surround sound, DVD and Blu-ray, like I did 15 or 20 years ago, so their demise doesn’t concerns me too much. However, I can see how others may see cause for concern. I’ll tell you what relatively new technology I have become madly in love with....."Music Streaming." Music streaming at a very high level, that is. I love streaming my music so much that I now stream exclusively. Happy listening.
The end of physical media is neigh
Very sad news for me personally. Honestly this struck me as hard or harder than hearing about the death of a beloved artist. With the advent of machine learning and AI controlling our music listening we are becoming a world without any control at all over our music or movie culture.

100% audiophile, 0% videophile, never got into videophilia... though i supposedly have a decent tv, according to a video dude i know. Movies in ultra high definition 4k look like documentaries (ugh) to me. I saw that OG predator movie more recently in UHD and it felt like Schwarzenegger was doing a documentary on birds in the forest or something I guess i can understand now why the vinyl guys like all the awful vinyl crackles and low-fi warpy wowy fluttery sound (bwaaahahahaha) that they claim is the "organic" sound of life...Videophiles might hate me.. |
@bolong well done, that was my first thought too! |
. i like me a good dose of film grain and the low-fi look of those spaghetti westerns on tape.- 124 posts total
