As per subject.

While browsing the HMV Worthing store I came across some classical
music (German) on Super AUdio CD.

There are still a couple of players that support this format
but am I right in thinking that everyone has moved on to
'Higher resolution' downloads (or back to vinyl :-) ) ?.

Or has the penny dropped and people gone back to standard
CD format with just a better pair of speakers ?.

I've seen this article btw :-

Wow! Whoever wrote that doesn't know how to use the English language
to communicate clearly. I found myself reading sentences several
times to grasp what he (?) was trying to say.

Does anyone know of a similar explanatory site (mainly about the ear
and how it works - in detail)? Struggling with the phrasing at that
one gave me a headache.


Belay that, I found this site and it's much better;
http://www.soundonsound.com/sound-advice/how-ear-works

Though it doesn't cover inter-'hair' distances etc. that were being used in
the first artcile to support the author's stand.
