Don't count on it. Kodachrome revivalist posts/threads will continue here as long as PHOTRIO exists. After that, they'll show up elsewhere.
Sure people always have hopes and dream. Especially artists. If an artist can't dream they are done for.
Kodachorme was in a class by itself, just magnificent media. In my archive I have Kodachromes going back to 1939 / 1940 that look good. Prior to that the formula was different and they faded.
Sad, eventually all this tech will be lost. Just like trying to recreate Autochromes.
... and endless blabber (both film and audio recordings).Kodachrome...THE most overrated film. Ever. The one thing that makes me want to go digital, is to avoid the endless blather about a dead film that isnt even remotely going to reappear. Ever.

And more than a little of the vinyl sold today is purchased because it is "cool", and played on cheap record players that sound like sh!t, the audio equivalent of a Holga
really ?The people you are referring to are not serious, dedicated listeners.
i always thought the white noise saying "shhhhhhh" when i played my cheep stuff was tell ing me to keep it a secret ..
Having run a high-end audio website for nearly a decade, and having met thousands of audiophiles from across the country, I couldn't disagree more. The link is just more drivel from Ken Rockwell.This is where I'll have to agree with KR: audiophiles are interested in the equipment rather than the music and sometimes will have so little technical knowledge that it's laughable; music lovers love the music no matter what crappy sound system it's coming from.

Absolute rubbish. Every piece of audio equipment i ever bought HAD to pass the music test. It either added to my enjoyment of the music or it moved along. If the gear did not provide a demonstrable increase in value to my musical enjoyment I had ZERO interest in it.

I agree but... you are talking about audiophools, the sort who buy "pre-tested fuses", $300 low oxygen copper line cords, and such rubbish. I've a friend who is a true audiophile, and can afford whatever he wants. He drives a $7000 pair of speakers and a self designed & fabricated subwoofer using a pair of 8" carbon fiber dome drivers with a slightly modified Dynaco don't remember the model but it uses EL34s, the sound is gorgeous.This is where I'll have to agree with KR: audiophiles are interested in the equipment rather than the music and sometimes will have so little technical knowledge that it's laughable; music lovers love the music no matter what crappy sound system it's coming from.

I remember avoiding those "wall of televisions" displays in stores when I was a kid, the massed 15.75kc horizontal oscillators went into my ears like icepicks.One of my daughters complains about the FM hiss on radio.

I read articles by Ken Rockwell when I am suffering the side effects of eating too much cheese.
Yeah - PE just mentioned it : "At least it is not about Kodakchrome".....So let me first state in short the following.I realy don't like to come off topic in that way some others did it here. I can understand if some have a total different look to issues about Kodakchrome - but who can say what will happen in the future or who is right and who isn't. So why is the culture of argumentation gone ? To state off topics is no serious way.Back on topic: Anyone saw the Kodachrome movie on Netflix? I have a technical question about the Kodachrome photos displayed during the end credits. What is the trick used to make those Kodachrome look so amazing? I mean the contrast and colors are out of this world. Anyone knows?
This thread is more stupid than the deleted thread. What a waste of brain cells. oh, the humanity...
Sorry Lionel - we are indeed not talking about the same film. ...Back on topic: Anyone saw the Kodachrome movie on Netflix?
