 | Lee Wrecker If you can't dig me, you can't dig nothin' Member since Nov 2013 2282 Points | Anyone remember the laser disc? I seem to recall that was going to revolutionise the industry too. No laser disc section on 45 worlds though. Anyway sladesounds on the face of it it looks good but I do like the 20-30 minutes per side of the current technology. |

The laser disc was far superior to VHS but could not record on laser which you could on VHS which gave it the advantage, had laser been able to do what CD rewrite could do, then things may have been the other way round. |

Here's an interesting Wikipedia on the Format War of the 80's & 90's. Personally I always owned Betamax machines although I worked in Electrical Retail and Rental from the mid 70's to the early 80's and had to push VHS as the one to own or rent. |

So we do just over 100 by the look - I stand corrected. Still the format didn't turn out to be the game-changer it was hyped to be at the time. Quad5point1's comment on Betamax vs VHS is interesting because the better format doesn't always succeed. Other factors are always at play and this goes way back to the days of the Edison Phonograph Cylinder (which he incidentally ripped off) and capturing a market or the public's imagination is probably more important than the quality of product a lot of the time. The Sony Walkman springs to mind as shit product that sold like hotcakes. |

 | albert oh well, la di da Member since Aug 2013 1345 Points | That weblink for HD vinyl talks in the future tense and has no product by the looks of it. It's a patent idea, nothing more. If you look on youtube you can find people who have used 3D printers to make records, obviously they sound awful, but it didn't stop them from spending lots of time and brain power having a go at it. There are a few things that I would say are quite dubious on the HD vinyl pitch, for starters you don't get louder sounds from tightly packed micro-grooves, everyone should know that. |

Coming to a charity store bargain record bin near you, soon!  (Whereupon it will doubtless, become instantly collectible, and trading hands for thousands of poonds a pop - SACD Part II, The Revenge!) ((I thought the idea of vinyl - being analogue - was that it was already as high a definition as it could be (along with tape)?)) |

 | George Slv This comment marked as Spam. Please press Not Spam Member since Aug 2012 498 Points | The webpage says "As a first step, we convert a high-resolution audio file into a topographic 3D map of a stamper". Don't you need to use a digital master for that? That's all I need. More "perfect sound forever". |
