I never could hear any difference, myself. Wonder what happened to that concept? I guess that the manufacturers couldn't deliver on what they promised . . . .
I remember that. I even considered getting it when I was shopping for a high-end stereo system while stationed in Korea. I rejected it and went with stereo. I never did 8-track, Betamax, or laserdiscs. I stuck with the more popular formats and generally waited for the dust to clear during format wars before deciding what to get.
