An ad on the rear cover of Stereophile, November 2012, which promotes a digital audio product, states in dramatic italics that it is "for those who still believe in progress." Readers of this blog know about my sound-on-film product concept. But progress can also occur in other analog audio technologies. For example, consider how an antique wax cylinder phonograph could be improved by being produced in a high-precision modern version according to modern machining techniques. I recently wrote to Donald Trump suggesting that a top quality vintage gramophone playing "like new" vintage 78's might have truly remarkable sound quality.
