Since the CD there has not been a single development that has improved
the sound, so none has been widely adopted by the classical listener.

I think that the convenience of the CD, rather than its sound quality,
has been the major factor in its success. I don't think people are that
bothered about sound quality on the whole.

That seems to be "revealed truth" in the hate-digital Luddite backwaters of
the audio world. It's an out-and-out falsehood. I was just reading one
commentator who pointed out that approximately 188 million iPods have been
sold to music lovers, with negligable favorable impact on the circulation of
the high end ragazines.

We are entering the post-CD digital era and a few noisy 10's of thousands
are still fighting for the resurgence of the LP and analog tape and against
CD. Talk about tilting at windmills!
