Re: [SurroundSound] Re: Hub Rules...

The Hardware encoded DTS discs sound great but some of the software encoded ones; well sound like MP3 - but that is no issue for the car

We are all aware of your contribution to the hub and community -  what MWC made clear is that we want newbie's to start adding some newer content.

Actually it does raise an issue here that we are now so organised as a group that new content is created by ourselves so it is hard to add anything new. We are living our ideal as archivers, which is what we set out to do, so being circumspect the starting path to quad is DTS, hence why newb's only have DTS.

In a library like ours it is hard to add new books, but folks start reading which is what we should encourage. DTS is the starter book.

I know I am not the only one who is tired of people putting down DTS CD's, some material is only avalible that way (some of the best stuff mind you) and as someone who does not have a method to copy DVD-A watermarked disc I have no other way to listen to these titles in my Acura RL but to transfer to DTS CD.

 

I am a life long audiophile and record dealer and we could have the same argument that digital media is still far and away inferior to vinyl no matter what the format.

 

I bet most of the people that are making this argument (not the top 5%) would not be able to tell the difference between DTS-CD and DVD-A blindfolded.

 

Stop the hate, DTS is still a good format and I you are making DVD-A off 8 track tape quads you have not right to put down DTS.

Any chance of not counting DTS-CDs and maybe lossy dts stuff in
general for the newbies entrance fee?
I tire of all these new people coming with only crap to share.
OK, after some time, they have grabbed better stuff off the hub and
are able to help 'seed' it, but until then and unless they actually
stay online for a reasonable length of time to help with 'seeding'
they don't have anything to offer.
