Message-ID: <669@opus.UUCP> Date: Fri, 3-Aug-84 04:41:07 EDT Article-I.D.: opus.669 Posted: Fri Aug 3 04:41:07 1984 Date-Received: Sun, 5-Aug-84 05:33:36 EDT Organization: NBI, Boulder Lines: 16 Within the last year (January 1984, if memory serves), Doug Sax and Lincoln Mayorga of Sheffield Labs gave an extensive interview with Audio magazine in which they explained just how the CD format is inadequate, isn't as noise free as it should be nor as noise free as conventional LPs, and in general doesn't measure up to CDs. They explained how, if digital were what it promised, they'd be the first to get into it, but it isn't so they're staying out. This past week, the first Sheffield CDs arrived in the area. Given the lead time to get everything set up, actually produce a CD, and get it to market, I'd say they had to be working on it 3-4 months ago.
