Those peek-a-boo tubes look like they want to come out and play at startup, you know, like ...

Pitchfork article https://pitchfork.com/news/high-definition-vinyl-is-happening-possibly-as-early-as-next-year/ The slashdot comments seem to echo your view https://yro.slashdot.org/story/18/04/12/2320221/high-definition-vinyl-is-coming-as-early-as-next-year a couple of choice ones "This scheme is a shoe-in for the 2018 "polished turd of the year" award." " Or.. now hear me out on this one... or ... we could just, you know, send the digitally converted audio, you know, without converting it back into a bumpy piece of plastic. I know this might sound radical, but it seems to me that converting analog sound to digital format then to a digital 3d map then to a laser-cut stamper then to a piece of bumpy vinyl then to a vibrating stylus and into a varying electrical current to drive an amplification system to run the speakers that you listen to might just be a little more complicated than just taking the digital format for storage and transport and converting that back into analog sound at playback."

Meanwhile ... https://hdvinyl.org/ "In 2016, Mr. Loibl had this crazy idea to make vinyl records with lasers :-) We simply called it HD Vinyl." Really?

Maybe that's just the reality of the consumer market dichotomy. A race to the bottom for commodity goods where (lowest) price is everything, and the remaining non-price sensitive, cost no object 1%. Where do high quality, value for money goods fit in that world?
