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.
