And now, Introducing....

April Fools joke.  Look at the date on the article.

So have I. This may just be another one... Although, it wouldn't hurt my feelings any, I suppose, if the kids liked it enough for it to draw them away from mp3, some not too distant day from now.

prpixel,

No, HDCD has been available in the pro world for a while now. They just changed the concept to tape to dramatically increase high frequency response and lower the noise floor. Apparently it's for real.

A friend of mine has a '67 Mustang with a working 8-track player, but he hardly ever uses it. He drives the car now and then, but the 8-track only has 2 tapes. Janis Joplin's "Kosmic Blues" and a Doobie Brothers. 

I'm tired of both of them, so I gave him some blank tapes from my stash. Five years ago! He still hasn't found a way to make some new tapes. 

"Apparently it’s for real."

Ivan, you can’t be serious. Look at the logo under the tape, DUBLY? And the tape, Kingston Duo?  April Fool’s joke, big time!
