paulo Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Hmmm.... I remember when CD's were touted as unscratchable and that they would play no matter what you did to them - yes you could throw them around, get them wet, even use them as coasters for your hot beverage and they would always still be fine....... I may have bought a few over the years that were probably better used as a coaster, but that's a different story....... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it ever hits the market it'll cost a fortune until they're selling enough to cover initial production costs. Still interest tech... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Seeing that article makes me wonder what kind of technology may be here already we aren't aware of. Something like this that has been lost in some Egyptian pyramid or Incan temple. You never know. Imagine the Great Pyramids being some form of magnetic based recorded library we haven't learned how to play back yet. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand That would be cool! Coming next - bx_pyramid, a saturation plugin that emulates the sweet sound of pyramid recording. An amazingly warm sound painstakingly recreated by brainworx engineers that went on location to the measure the unique qualities of this gear.

Did the jam degrade the vinyl in any way ? Surely we need comparative figures if we're trying to show that the new format is better ? I guess it must have been inspired by a friend's kid that once fed several half eaten soggy biscuits to my VCR before anyone thought it might be an idea to intervene. Apparently, not finding this "adorable" meant that I was a grumpy git.? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
