Thanks, JBT. A cool review and the repeated references to CD quality sound are a great reminder that not all were wowed by digital sound in the 80s. I was not an audiophile in the 80s (or at least it never occurred to me to read Stereophile et al). But I did buy a CD player in 1985, and then return it in puzzlement and frustration just a couple of days later. Sadly, I had to eat the loss on the 5 or 6 CDs I bought with it.
