Abstract
One of the great successes of modern consumer electronics is the ready availability of highquality audio program presentation in the home environment. The evolution has been going on for more than a century, beginning with the acoustical phonograph, progressing on through radio, electrical recording, the long-playing record, television (both broadcast and via recordings), stereophonic, and multichannel sound.
