So you're an idiot.


If you think audio fidelity was high on the Compact Disc design team's
agenda you're quite delusional. The CD format offered a few obvious
improvements over vinyl: zero wow and flutter, no surface noise or rumble
and better dynamic range. Since most people at the time the CD hit the
mass market had a crappy turntable, crappy cartridge/needle, and vinyl
discs that weren't particularly well cared for, the improvements the
CD offered really stood out.



** Can't let that pile of idiotic bull ****e go by.

FACT is :

Philips and Sony had FIDELITY at the top of their list - so the proposed new system would have no possible sound quality shortcomings.


Bull****. If they really wanted true fidelity they would have had a much better sampling rate. This was clearly a mass market solution with a lot of advantages, except one. Folks with tin ears find CDs without flaws.

PLUS the usual benefit of PCM in being *infinitely* copyable without the slightest loss - a massive benefit the to recording industry.

CDs could have a sampling rate in the hundreds and they'd still be infinitely copyable. The fact is Phil that any digital format is infinitely copyable. Nothing unique about that.


PLUS being immune from wear and tear deterioration in normal use for decades.

Any digital format would do that, and that has nothing to do with fidelity, which was my point.

PLUS being convenient to use and low cost to produce as stampings.

Yada yada yada.. has nothing to do with fidelity.


Obviously YOU are a complete, know nothing ****wit.

One of millions of on the internet

I guess you don't own a mirror Phil. To be honest I thought the Wiki entry of "know-nothing ****wit" would have a picture of you as an example.

And since you're off your meds again and throwing **** around as if this were your own kitchen, let me just say that in regards to your first post (which, as a gentleman -most of the time- I ignored), let me say that most decent people wouldn't live in a house infested with roaches. Around these parts, you can't even get a mortgage on property so infested. Try emptying your sink of bean cans and Spam containers once a week or so and have your trailer fumigated.

Remind me not to have dinner at your house...
