Berlin - The Blu-ray audio format promises music with brilliant sound. The catch: The offerings are limited, the discs are expensive, HiFi buyers are skeptical and the music industry is keeping its distance. And most consumers don't have the slightest idea what it's all about.
Wouldn't it be great to have the technology behind the Blu-ray disc harnessed for home playback of music at outstanding acoustic quality? Many people may be surprised to learn that there's already a format for this: 'Pure Audio,' as it's known, has been around for a while but is little known. Its primary advocates to date have been special label classical albums. After all, the discs rarely cost less than 20 dollars.
