Beyond CD: DSD
The industry has come to an agreement, and a new higher density audio disc is on the way. But not if the inventors of the CD itself have their way.

MP3: Music Distribution Hits the Net 23
How serious is this new music medium? It has the record companies running scared. Should audiophiles be paying attention too?

FEATURE

Big Harvest at CES
by Gerard Rejskind
Our intrepid editor goes to Las Vegas, and finds not one show but two.

RENDEZVOUS

The Last of the Hi-Fi Pioneers
By the time you read this, Paul Klipsch will be 95 years old. Not only is he still with us, but he’s just worked on his latest speaker…

VIDEO

Future Video
For prerecorded material the future seems clear: it’s DVD. But for broadcast material it’s getting murkier by the day. We deploy our sonar.

TEST BENCH

Linn Sondek CD12
A quarter of a century ago, this Scottish company revolutionized the playing of LP’s. Guess who just did the same with the CD.

Copland CDA-289
This Scandinavian company goes back to the drawing board, and brings out a CD player that merely looks like previous ones.

Roksan Caspian CD Player
Roksan is back with a full set of components, built around performance rather than weirdness.

AMC CD8 Player
An inexpensive CD player…with a tube upgrade.

The Magenta ADE-24
Can putting an extra component between a CD player and an amplifier do anything that isn’t tragic?

The Enigma Oremus
From nowhere (well, from Montreal actually) comes a small luxury speaker that belongs on thousands of shopping lists.

SOFTWARE

Franz Liszt Superstar
by Reine Lessard
He paved the way for Wagner, Debussy and Schoenberg. And for Elvis, John, Paul, George and Ringo
