Nothing is absolutely impossible. But, and its a big but, the CD is dead. The RedBook spec is 25 years old and is not going to be changed. SACD and DVD-A were supposed to be the audiophile solution to CD's limitations, and they have failed. > But if something like RG was made universal, it would put an end to the > loudness war era.

In theory, they could be remastered from the original tapes, but there is no reason to expect that. Only a tiny number of CDs sell enough to get a second printing, let alone remastering. -- Pat http://www.pfarrell.com/music/slimserver/slimsoftware.html _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
