A new analog medium


It's been about 60 years since the introduction of the reel-to-reel tape; isn't it about time for a new analog medium?
Actually, there was the Laserdisc in the 70s and this optical analog medium is probably the best candidate for a new analog format.
Vinyl and magnetic tape are far from perfect and far from being convenient to use. There is room for improvement in both of these areas.

we are seeing a lot of this ignore-the-anti-digital in the analog forums these days.

I would say listen for yourself and don't ignore what you hear.

There is dogma but if analog is better you will actually hear that. I hear it.

BTW, quantization does lose 'data'. It is synthesizes.
