The December 84 Stereo Review also had an article about the CDP system
which does some voodoo signal processing to comprss audio signals ontop a
standard floppy disk.  Frankly, I don't like the idea of the signal processing
to reduce the bit rate.
As most readers of net.audio know, I'm generally pro-digital (and on the verge
of finally breaking down and getting a CD player - probably the Revox) but
I don't like  this kind of signal processing - it reminds me of the
allegedly compatable CX enccoding (which received a well-deserved demise)
Don't get me wrong - some signal processing like Dolby and dbx nnoise
reduction is OK , but one of the main benefits of digital is its wide dynamic
range - and thats what these guys will throw out as as redundant.
