Science Fiction Time ?


OK you budding H.G. Wells and Jules Verne types. What is the next great quantum leap in audio. I'm not talking about refinements of existing technology. Two catagories...1) inventions. (Mechanical to electronic amplification, tubes to transistors, analog to digital, etc.) A system just starting to get a foothold that will esentially replace existing technology for the mass consumer market (CD'S over vinyl, cassettes over 8-track, or DVD over Laser Disc). I'll post some thoughts of my own, later! Happy Tunes!

Storage formats that are not medium based, i.e. MP3, that are small, incredibly high quality(better than DVD-A, and SACD).

SACD and DVD-A are a fads based of technology that is quickly getting to its EOL, why should we still be using such limited, delicate physical media. You should just be able to queue up an album from remote storage arrays which have every song concievable already on them.... well maybe not, thanks to the RIAA

heh, i could set up an array like that in in less than a week, the technology already exists....but i'd get sue'd for the rest of my life

you know how it goes...profit before progress
