YOU DON'T OWN ANY MONSTER® CABLE™???? YOU SHOULD FEEL ASHAMED OF YOURSELF.!!!1!! Now I know my system sounds better than yours, and the hardware/amps/speakers don't even matter. That's right, even my little bookshelf system will sound better than anything you've got. Why? Monster® Cable™, that's why. It was designed by Jesus.

DynaStation II, a $6,000 CD player that "combines the transport from a Sony PlayStation, an output section using rare New Old Stock tubes, and [has] no remote control"

PDF with more details on the DynaStation II

I see ordinary PS1s have ebay BIN prices in the range of about $30 to $1500. Heh.

So this answers some of the "I wonder" questions... Also it looks like the DTS Losless system is still around.

Paramount adds Hi Def Audio to Blue Ray

Holy cow! Uncompressed 5.1 at home... there goes the windows [Eek!] .

P.S. I would post the whole article except there are tons of links in it....

I HOPE its OXYGEN FREE CABLE!!!!!!!!!!! well at least 97.3 OFC!!!! The 2.7 % is given to you for FREE i assume. I am amazed how many cables go green over time, the clear leads make oxygenation so much easier to see.

Let me go on record(pun intended), as saying, the SACD of the greatest album in human history, "Jeff Wayne's Musical Version Of The War Of The Worlds" Contains audible differences with its regular CD counterpart, conveniently on the same disc.

I'm not talking about remix effects of passages brought up in the mix, or the added SFX. The SACD just had a "clarity" for lack of a better word, the regular CD just sounded kind of flat by comparison.

It would seem like a shame to let this format die, even though its relatively obscure.
