Near-perfect glass CD hits stores in Akihabara, Shibuya for $831
You know how your audiophile friends insist on only the finest media on which to store their music -- forsaking MP3s and the iTunes Store in favor of vinyl or CDs? Well, if those audiophiles have deep pockets (as many of seem to), they'll probably be very interested in this new glassCD that's just come out of Japan. Suenori Fukui has recently invented a
transparent glass CD that he says is guaranteed to not distort or warp.
As Mainichi Interactive reports: "As glass CDs are completely transparent,
information on them can be read perfectly, improving sound quality.
They are not affected by heat or humidity and remain in perfect
condition forever." The first glass CD recording of J.S. Bach's "Air on
G String" (not to be confused with Sebastian Bach's "Show me your
g-string," which we really wish existed) will be on sale at Ishimaru
Denki in Akihabara and Tower Records in Shibuya for ¥98,700 ($831).
