  • Sound Quality - responses

    Michael Fremer: A) Blu-ray is not a disaster. In fact, what's happened is that Sony supplies a particular part that's in such short supply now that player demand is up, there's a serious bottleneck, but the stats are distorted. Blu-ray will succeed. People will not be downloading their movies in HD any time soon on a regular basis. Even with the broadest band it takes too long and doesn't include extras and sound choices (etc.) B) Analog is hardly dead. Forget that I am a cheerleader: I am also way on top of the situation and it's explosive right now and vital. No, it will not return as it once was, and that's great but the numbers you will see over the next year or two will surprise even you. Remember: MP3 was nothing for years and grew virally until it dominated. Vinyl will not dominate but will become far more important than you currently believe. Save this email.
