I'd have to try to dig up the old issue, if I've still got it. I'm fairly certain that I remember wording to the effect "the manufacturer claims...". What botherered me was that there is much more solid ground for claiming video improvement, but that was not emphasized as strongly. P.S.: As an approximation of the visual experience, modern video is about as effective as an Edison Cylinder in recreating an audio experience. Maybe top-notch HDTV will reach the relative level of 78 RPM shellac discs. -Kerry
