I never ceased to be amazed at the hubris of some people with money and a platform to think that they are uniquely smarter and more knowledgeable than all the scientists and engineers who have trained and worked all their lives on similar and usually much more difficult problems.

I don't know whether to classify this as anti-science or ignorance. The result looks the same.

T. Bone has an impeccable resume of producing gorgeous music.  Some of his records are sublime--to me.  I'm certainly going to give him the benefit of the doubt, and let this play out.  

I'm down the reel-to-reel rabbit hole just to get closer to the source when possible. I'd definitely try this even if it cost me something more.  I don't golf. :)

Producing music is much different from developing a recording format. Different skill set.

There is not new technology in analog. As a design engineer I seem it improve components. But there nothing new, lasers, radio waves, tape, records nothing new that has not been done before. The implications that’s there and he’s doing it is bizarre.
