Anyone caught David Ranada's "Out with the new, in with the newer" piece
in the latest Sound & Vision? In it he says that there will be progress
in items like computer controlled speakers to compensate for room
acoustics. but since multichannel music hasen't caught on (and isn't
likely to), "the end of constantly improving audio fidelity that started
with Edison's phonograph is coming to and end. That end seems to be, for
the most part, CD.

Thank Xenu for small favors. Audio has been devolving in some ways
since Eisenhower was president.
