Okay, all you Golden Ears out there:

How come I haven't heard a *SINGLE*
complaint about the inter-channel
phase difference in CD players with 
only one D/A converter?  

Many CD players use only one D/A 
converter and multiplex it between the
two channels:  this leads to a phase
lag which goes from aprrox 0 degrees
at 20 Hz. to around 90 degrees at
high frequencies.  

Why don't you complain about that too?
Could it be that you didn't know about
it, so you didn't hear it?  (Anyway,
it translates to an image shift of a
fraction of a mm.)

Hey, out there:  did you anti-CD types
like the Telarc records when they 
first came out on vinyl?  Then did you
dislike the CD versions?  If you didn't,
it seems to me that you like the
colourations in vinyl.  If you did,
then could it be that the CD's you've
disliked (I agree that there are ROTTEN
ones out there) are unpleasant for 
other reasons than the "inherent
inadequacy" of CD?

Cheerfully awaiting your replies,
and,
From the pooped paws of:
