Behr) Organization: UCLA Math Science Department Lines: 21 Xref: mnetor rec.audio:2576 sci.electronics:1018 Two tidbits (news heard from a friend, who is following this topic in magazines etc.), may be unfounded rumors, but would be great if true. - there is a regular broadcast carried by many NPR stations, called Audiophile Audition or something like that (BTW, most stations apparently "download" it from a satellite & store it on *digital* tape for later broadcast.) Anyhow, they recently had a demo of the infamous notch: a piece of Debussy with & without CP. Guess what: according to my friend it was rather distinctly audible! I wonder if anyone on the NET has firsthand knowledge/impressions of it; - a few days ago RIAA (one of the proponents of notching) changed its position, saying publicly that they no longer support the thing. It sounds too good to be true, but my friend is a rather serious guy and April 1 is long gone. Any hard facts on the subject? What's great about the first item is that if it's so easy to notice (on the radio even...) it shouldn't take much to get the whole absurd killed. Eric
