New Sony Hi Res Coming This Fall

The masters at marketing strike again and everybody falls for it.

'vinyl-like listening experience' it claims. Why bother with anything but the 'real thing',

Maybe everyone isn't as enamored about carefully storing the medium, then cleaning it all the time to avoid the dreaded clicks and pops, then having to obsess about TT set-up, and cartridge status, and having to turn the thing over to get the other half of the music, and having to ensure that everything is again packed away carefully, and having limited availability to take out of the home environment, and use in other places, like a car or the beach, or, or.

Maybe. Seems some folks like to do things with their life and be able to enjoy some high res. Go figure.

Sony High Resolution Audio

I would like to see music on Blu-Ray. I would think Symphonic detail and dynamics should be much improved over SACD.

I don't believe you guys. Nobody(except President Obama) is going to make you buy anything (and Sony can't afford to enlist the President's help).

This project may fail and it is definitely being done, in part, to make more money off the back catalog. So what?

If it does succeed, DSD downloads and the variety of equipment built by various high end companies to play them could make high res digital the best sounding, most convenient format available without question. Not for the guys who will die clutching their vinyl records, of course. Not that there's anything wrong with that. I think this is still a free country.

So let's see what Sony does before we condemn it. It could be a good thing and might even get some new people interested in the high end. I hope the consensus would be that that would be a good thing.
