	Our local easy listening radio station (KINK, Portland) had a demo
of the sony digital disk system last night.  Amazing.  Even while driving 
and listening on the car radio, you could really hear the difference.  They
played several cuts off different albums, and the fidelity was amazing.
On one cut which I have at home, I heard things that I never heard before.
Supposedly this was the first digital to be broadcast on the west coast.
They had the unit on loan from a local audio store, I hope they make it a
permanent addition.
	Naturally I went in for a listen in the store.  If you are a audio nut
get to your stereo store and have a listen.  There is simply no static.
The music comes from nowhere, out of a dead silence.  Imaging is incredible.
Dynamic Range is deafening if your are not careful.  My ears are in love
with it.  This may be the end of the audio glut.  You really need some good
equipment to fully enjoy it.  But put this unit in your living room, and
you will never buy another concert ticket.

digitally yours,

Keven
