You know how many times in history people have made that very same failed prediction?

The answer is ..it will sound better. There is absolutely no question about it. The sonic quality of music is so much better today. Remember, recording didnt even exist just a short time ago. We are in a new medium now. Even the new digital TV, which tout a better picture still has many flaws. The day is young.

The digital medium is not like the Hammer. Which is basically unchanged for hundreds of years. The digital word is infinite by its very definition. There is no limit. There's not a chance in the world it will not exceed tape.
what a load of shit. when the digital copy of the tape plays back it's a compromise... if you mess with it too much it turns to dust... digital has no soul.

it does NOT sound better.

the digital emporer is just now starting to wear a speedo... it'll be 100 years before it sounds like 1/2" tape. you only spew all this propaganda about digital being better because you've never experienced real audio... and film still looks better than any hdtv ever will.

imax is an improvement... speakers are getting better... but the only things good about digital are repeatability and editing ease... the tone sucks shit.
