What makes you believe it is all digital?

@TheMythOfSisyphus it seems like the creation of the record is digital, they get the look of the waves digitally (i dunno how you can do that with tape)

I mean, the production process precludes a pure analog process, but most recordings these days are digital anyway, so I'm not sure how much it matters in the scheme of things.

It's a promising idea, but until it's on our turntables, that's all it is.

They do 3D mapping to laser cut the grooves but in the end it's a physical item and that doesn't affect the source material of the music (be it analog or digital). So, I wouldn't say it's digital. Also, I'll wait till HD vinyl gets pressed to decide what it's worth - proof in the pudding and all that stuff

@TheMythOfSisyphus so apparently it was supposed to come out this year and so far we got none really

Yea, I remember reading a couple articles about it last year or so. Honestly, I hope they suck so I'm not tempted to now buy albums I love on HD.

though aparently this could be pretty useful for one day getting a vinyl copy of good morning good night (high frequencies can be everywhere and apparently the chance of longer length records)

(personally i think HD is only gonna be used for SUPER high end LPs like MoFi or analogue productions.. older pressings will still be worth it since you still have the tangible experience of having an album in your collection you love... though im skeptical about the high frequency stuff because too much high frequencies from what i know can cause the stylus to skip parts causing distortion)
