In Reply to: Will hi-res die? Killed off by MP3? posted by Feanor on June 25, 2003 at 14:59:15:
people said the same thing in pretty much the same exact words. Here it is, 3 years later, and hi-rez (at least SACD) has not died. It is in fact far more active than in those rather bleak early days.Call me insane but I can handle the ergonomics of an LP just fine. It may not be quite as easy as sticking a disk in a slot and pressing a button, but it is quite simple for a normally coordinated primate.
