How much longer will CDs be made?
Yes, maybe a good bar would make the subject a bit more palatable!Basically, the powers that be want to find a new way to get our money but can't agree on just how to do it. I don't think improved picture or sound quality is really the issue but r...

Tvad,Excellent explanation you steered us to but IMO still leaves the situation clear as mud. 
mo' better bass: any substitute for watts?
