What are the odds of Warp re-releasing any of their back
catalogue on either of these formats?

Hopefully never, since these formats take the concept of
"fair use" and throw it out the window. (no digital copying)

I wasn't thinking from that side of things I was thinking
more of cost. You do have a point though.

All future formats will be virtual...

"Why shift atoms when you can shift bits?...."....that's
what digital means....

No.Quite simply because I say so.

SACD has a decent chance. The big selling point is better
quality, but it seems like a lot of people think that 128
kbps mp3s sound good enough so that might be a tough sell to
the average person.

I've seen hybrid CD/SACD discs for about $19, so that's not
way more than a regular CD. It will play on a regular CD
player (but obviously you won't get the SACD fidelity).

The aphex mixes of Gavin Bryers Sinking of the Titanic were
issed on SACD, I believe...

i don't see how you can get a cd, be it a super audio cd, or
whatever, to have a vinyl sound

???

maybe it's me being stupid again

but when i was in college, they were on about how digital
can never sound like vinyl because it has something to do
with the depth and wall surface area of the pits in the
record

??

There hasn't been a lot of activity in the "let's add pops,
clicks and rumble to our digital technology" area recently.

<:-)

lol

that's not what i meant

you know, vinyl just sounds better than digital, and yeah,
okay you can put audio through aural exciters and whatever,
through a Drawmer, but you're still gonna end up with not
having the same "analog warmth and depth" that sony boast

i don't think so anyways

but then again who am i, a 19 year old unemployed grunt, to
say what's happening?

lol

I have always believed that neither analogue nor digital
sounds better, they just sound different.

Points: 7746 Status: Regular



well, yeah you've got a point there

okies, i abstain from having a preference due to inverted
whale's rather excellent point

there is a time where digital sounds great, and there's a
time when analog sounds great, but you can't really give one
precidence over the other

"you know, vinyl just sounds better than digital"

Well if by better you mean has error that makes it sound
"warmer". Some people like the error, so that's fine. It
still remains that the only way to make a perfect copy of
something is in digital format.

I like digital (CDs, haven't listened to SACDs yet). I like
hi-fidelity.

Whatever you like is fine, as long as you pay for it.

When you think about it, most of the stuff on vinyl today
comes from a digital source, so its basicly just the same
thing plus some noice.
And vinyl has the same 20hz>20khz limit as cd.
