I suppose there were more titles on LD than HD-DVD, but it was still very much a niche item. (I hooked mine up a few months ago and it's amazing the *thrummmmmm* it makes spinning up that huge heavy disc..). So what? Once it's spinning it's quiet enough, and LDs were a much better medium than VHS tapes. The sound of the best ones still beats DVD sound. I find that hard to believe. That sounds like one of those things people say just because the precision and certainly have lend a sonorous quality to it. I doubt any human ears can tell the difference between the sound coming off a DVD and a LD. Electronic instruments monitoring critical areas of the sound reproduction could, but human ears wouldn't be able to discern that difference. --
