Notwithstanding that the color palette is equally, or more, the choice of the director (or the DP), making such judgements risky, it actually happens that my engineering background is in optics so I'm a finicky customer. (Careful whom you try to put down.)"You would be in the minority, based on research i have read." Hooboy! Polls have been taken. Great. Um, doesn't that sort of thing rather contradict the sort of detailed concern you clearly have?
"And your last comment says it all, really." Yes, perhaps I should check digital out again, but I hate headaches.
"Your point is?" Pretty clear. I go for good sound and I seek it out. Many houses here, as in Westwood (exhibition capital of the world) are equipped with HPS-4000. Lacking that, many have Kintek. How can you even *hope* to compete with those systems, at home? (Perhaps you haven't heard them?...)
"...the audio dropout issues that other people complain about." They all have dropout. Optical had it, mag had it, digital has it. Of course I complain! To the management. Huh? DVDs never have droput? Ha!
As for "Colour degradation", I tend to see films early in their runs, for all the obvious reasons.
