Laser Beam Replaces Needle The phonograph has finally broken free from the shackles of its Victorian ancestry, trading the scraping needle in a wiggly groove for a weightless laser beam reading a digital data stream. The laser disc, sometimes called compact disc (or "CD" for short), is the first fun- damental departure in- more than 100 years from Edison's original phonographic principles. Sizable shipments of laser discs and the special turntables (costing $70 to $1,000) to scan these tiny grooveless discs have now arrived in the United States from Europe and the Orient.They are not merely expensive technological toys.

Music recorded on CDs, reports the January issue of Connoisseur, produces an immediacy normally experienced only in live performances. Ever since Thomas Edison invented the phonograph in 1877, recorded sound depended on a stylus tracing a musical wave form. But the CD laser "reads" only coded digital information the music ignoring the surface on which it is inscribed. Without the limitation of a conventional record's narrow grooves, the dynamic range of music that span between soft and loud is reproduced unhampered by technical constraints. "Because nothing but light touches the disc, it never wears, and it lasts forever," says Connoisseur.
