From Charles Pearson:

"..at least one SONY CD player is playing in multiplexed mono...
cutting the sample rate in half."

Wrong again.  The machine in question simply has a single
D/A chip handling 88K samples/second rather than having
two chips handling 44K samples/second each.  The only ill
effect is that the signal to one channel winds up 22.7
microseconds late.  You can compensate for this by moving the
speaker on that channel about 1/4 inch closer to your ears.
