RUSH Moving Pictures 40th Anniversary edition (with Richard Chycki Dolby Atmos mix)

[Audiowannabee]

And vinyl buyers who only want the LPs feel the same way about having to purchase the optical disks, though often the vinyl is available separately.

Ill just wait till forever when the price drops to $40 like Guns n Roses or listen via Apple or never own it kinda like alot of things ill never get to own...
Cuz u know the WEF says "U will own nothing but ull be happy" or not

Like a lot of music over the years, Moving Pictures hasn’t aged well.

Huh??? I respect your opinion, but sheesh, I cannot disagree with you more.

I’m sorry.

Rush is blowing it with the bloated box set ... and I agree, like others here, that I have ZERO interest in the bulky vinyl. Truth be told, I still would prefer stand alone Blu-rays, and also would prefer that the labels include both lossless 5.1 surround and 2.0 stereo. I keep wondering how Atmos has arrived like a tidal wave, when there has also been Auro 3D and DTS-X for a number of years. Atmos tops out at 48k - I just don't get it and the streaming editions are clearly compressed.

That, and Dolby has been doing a good job of marketing to consumers for decades. I can still remember my dad delaying our first VCR purchase because he'd read that JVC was coming out with one that supported Dolby C noise reduction.

Dolby has been a juggernaut in the industry for over 40+ years. The industry accepted Dolby as the main sound codec format and now Dolby Vision is quickly becoming preferred. This goes back to the laserdisc days of AC-3 vs. DTS. When dvd came out, the industry chose Dolby as the standard codec and dts was optional. Same for blu ray. Dolby also bought MLP from Meridian, incorporated MLP and developed the current Dolby True HD codec. Huge win for Dolby and made them the undisputed king.

DTS and Auro are great codecs but they have ZERO marketing and seemingly no reason to go after the king, so therefore they will remain niche.

This page is nearly 20 years old but nonetheless has a great write-up of the historical battle between Dolby and DTS (with a little SDDS thrown in for good measure).

It's basically a long-winded version of what @EricKalet says above.

Ahhhh good 'ol SDDS! Many of us in the home theater groups wished, begged, for SDDS to become available in a home version. Never happened.

Again, this an expensive issue. It's too expensive. I've no need for vinyl if there's a hires Blu-Ray containing 5.1 that I prefer.
Won't buy this. Never!

The record company should release this as simple Blu-Ray. No need to bundle this with unnecessary things and LPs-those should
be released extra.

Disappointing. Really.
It's simply a rip-off. Should not be supported.

Oh I don't know... Staring at that tiny red model car perched on your center channel speaker while air drumming along with the signature drum sticks sounds like a $300 bargain experience to me.

I still play with my Pink Floyd marbles every day.

Straight out of the Rush song "Warpaint"!

 

[cdheer]

I was gonna say, that looks suspiciously un-Barchetta-like.

Hasn’t Dolby TrueHD been a clear 2nd in that two man race though?

And while Dolby Vision may be the technical winner in that particular battle, so was Betamax its battle.

Not to my ears. I often prefer the True HD option, for albums where both are present.

I’m not talking technically. I’m talking market acceptance and utilization.

Nevertheless if you prefer Dolby TrueHD over DTS HD-MA it’s because your system handles it better. They’re both lossless schemes and produce exactly the same output digitally. It’s like preferring the sound of ALAC over FLAC.

Not a real good analogy, since DV has already won its hearts-and-minds battle over HDR10+.
