How to test speakers, lacking an anechoic chamber, calibrated microphone, etc. Do you know how to test for boom and even frequency response? 2. Tubes vs. transistors for Class A amplifier operation. In fact, Class A vs. AB or B would be (has been) an interesting debate. 3. Bets on when: (a) Really first-class turntables and arms (SME, Linn Sondek type) are driven down to the $200 price level by CD competition (b) The above products disappear from the market entirely (c) CDs are replaced by some other technology, e.g., magnetic bubble plug-ins. Surely, the next generation of medium development will appear in a shorter interval than it took CDs to appear (i.e., 90 or so years after the analogue platter)?
