I think there's maybe 5 Gen Z quadheads and they're all on this forum...I thought that the size wasn't large enough to mention!
Happy Birthday, Compact Disc!!

NOT to mention, most of the vinyl being produced today is derived from digital files ...... so why bother?I think there's maybe 5 Gen Z quadheads and they're all on this forum...I thought that the size wasn't large enough to mention!
Many Gen Zers believe that vinyl's inherent limitations are what makes the sound good! Marketing said so!
Understanding what actually improves sound is what separates the citizen from the audiophile! That's why we're all here!
I did some internet surfing on cost of CD .25Cents vs Bluray.50cents.
There are also factors, a CD making plant is different that a Blu Ray plant. The conversion from a CD manufacturer to a Blu Ray manufacture can be costly.
I personally would buy stereo music put on a BD, which we have done already (Pure Audio as an example), for the higher bit and Khz rate, assuming the cost was not ridiculous.
As an industry it seems the choice CD vs BD is solely about content. The Blu ray able mainly to hold video content and added audio content, up to 10 times more.
I think as an industry which obviously is in flux right now, mainly between streaming and physical of any kind, I feel lucky that multiple options are available to us.
I think all of us on QQ are educated enough to agree that original, recording, mixing and mastering is paramount to an awesome listening session. One example, and there are thousands, Dire Straits-Brothers In Arms, sounds good all the time, no matter what.
I will close with a time I was at Acoustic Sounds in Salina Kansas. Was led to there vinyl demo room, great equipment with wall treatment. They laid a record on the turntable and all I could focus on was the clicks and pops as it had been years since I listened to a record. I thought, man, this is your demo, sounds horrible.

This is an absolute must for me, and I feel blessed I am able to do all formats very well and have great equipment to play files, even in my car via a thumb drive.

Really pathetic that MQA encoded CDs got such a bad, IMO, UNDESERVED Rap. On MQA equipped disc spinners, especially on my new All Meridian system, they sound truly exquisite. Full 24 bit. I have two newly replicated Warner Van Halen MQA discs and they sound truly ASTOUNDING and they're now priced at under $18 from CDJapan [Japanese pressed of course] and if you ever heard the 2 Disc UHQ MQA CD of THIS IS THE MOODY BLUES ...I have NEVER heard them sound as ALIVE as on this two disc compilation.. even better than any of the multi~CH SACDs. And that is NO LIE!
