General audio topics that don't fit into specific categories.

Not me, I'm holding out. My computer is still all analog.

I found a news clipping from 1906:

"There is a new fangled sound product called the 'amplifier' that is claiming to be an advance in the reproduction of music over our beloved Edison Cylinder."

"Everyone knows that music is a sound medium, not an electronic one, and we cannot endorse this bastardization of the acoustic sound of music by corrupting it with electricity."

"It would be a fool's errand to try to shift the recreation of a musical performance from the mecahnical world into the electronic world."
