As an average Joe consummer trying to break into audiophilia, I agree strongly with that last statement. If they want to give us higher rez mediums and higher sound quality, great, let them. But I don't want the recording industry turning into big brother and tieing one arm behind my back so I can't possibly do anything they don't want. Who cares if the music sounds great if you can't enjoy it they way you want, when you want, where you want. The magic isn't in the numbers, it's in the feeling, and I think our greatest effort shouldn't be in fighting a format war, it should be in seeing that this isn't forgotten by an industry in a world that would happily sell us dog **** in a flaimming bag if they thought they could get us to buy enough of it.
One thing mark said that I agree with, is that CDs have improved quite a lot in their life time, and SACD should too. I don't see it as a big new thing, just an evolutionary step. Nothing more and nothing less. As long as they don't adopt a philosiphy of "hurt the consummer to protect the industry" I'm ok. Unfortunately, that's the way the world is trying to work and we need to try to keep it in check. It's our world, our industries being run by us. To hell with the numbers.
