What are your thoughts on the "Edsels" of the audio history?


It is a human normal to seek the best, and the world of the high end audio fan is full of that history.  But what about some of the dead-ends/failures?

How about Quadraphonic, Perfect Sound Forever, 8-track tapes, SQ and others in your thoughts/memory?

8-track wasn’t a failure. It served it’s purpose during the time of AM radio.
Homemade 8-tracks sounded better than high speed prerecords. Just like cassette mix tapes and CD burners CDR’s. The splice tape held together long enough for cassette to get established.
If you had a lathe you could cut better sounding limited edition vinyl like that guy in London.
