Clio09, Sounds interesting - let me know how it works out! I will read up on the link. Just make sure to backup your hard drive ;)Rob 
Can HI FI components really make music?
Newbee is right - you won't be fooled into thinking it sounds just like live music. But you have a much better shot at getting closer with a TT than with a CD player. Rob

LOL Clio you're not helping...Rob 
CD...then the SACD...all over again
Justin time, I don't have an Ipod, and I don't use my hard drive in my hi fi system. I was talking about the target market "most of the population" for Sony, Phillips, etc. to make products that the market will demand, and that demand will be base... 
An observation about "Modern" classical music.
As far as modern classical music, I am referring to the new stuff - not the early to mid 20th century stuff. I enjoy and can relate to Copland - I enjoy John William's compositions for different movies and other composers. I even like some of the ... 
Best of Etta James, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan
Look at Verve unmixed ($5) and remixed ($15-17). They have 3 versions - they include a mixture of all the above artists on Verve remixed 3 or unmixed 3. Rob

Good discussion by the way. It's nice to see a thread about actual "music" and not equipment on Audiogon. Rob

Oldpet, Some people use hard drives as the source. I'll let them comment on that. I was refering to the general public though if you were asking about my statement. Most of the people I know don't have seperate preamps. Rob

Auralex acoustic form.
They are great but expensive. I think it's some of the best stuff out there for what it does; however, I think you could save a bunch of money and get the same stuff from eBay (type in "acoustic foam") for a fraction of the cost.I have 1" foam (Au... 
CD...then the SACD...all over again
Justin time, Well we agree then that most audiophiles enjoy LPs (it’s my favorite) and SACD (although I hear a lot of them afraid to make the plunge due to the obvious uncertainty – so maybe it should be LP and redbook). We disagree about the futu... 
An observation about "Modern" classical music.
jsujo,I'm sorry you didn't understand my post; I thought it was pretty straight forward. I didn't see anything in my post suggesting any career changes. And frankly, that's up to them what they do. Classical music from the past used typical form t... 
CD...then the SACD...all over again
Justin time, My question was for discussion purposes. I have no desire to go through the hoops of contacting Sony to ask them about future formats. I was addressing the mentions of Blu-ray being the next big thing. I don't see any disk format bein... 
CD...then the SACD...all over again
No one has come up with an answer to my question yet: If everything is moving to embedded hard disks (ipod, etc) which will be downloaded from the internet, then why would blu-ray or any other "disc" format be the next big thing? Rob
