     With the amount of current discussion concerning Digital 
Audio Disks (DADs) on the rise, I would like to propose that a 
sub-group be created, net.audio.cd. This new group might(should) 
try to contain itself to matters of intelligent reviews 
and recommendations concerning current and new DAD releases and 
new machines as they become avaliable to the listening
public. 

    As far as the discussion (aurguments) concerning the benefits
or drawbacks of DADs or vinly, this could continue in the sub-
group, but with the following qualification (insight):
    
              It seems that to compare the sound of analog
          disks to that of DADs is comparing apples and oranges: 
	  even in a double blindfold test the difference in taste
	  is very apparent.
          
	  The same will hold true when comparing DADs to vinyl;
	  as soon as the stylus transmits the analog information 
          the background and surface noise are a dead give-away 
	  of the origin of the signal source. 

Please keep this in mind when comparing the relative merits of 
either format. Above all keep the conversations intelligent.
