Not to mention the relatively high levels of distortion, especially IMD in the
recorded audio, compared to CD - I remember reading about the first CD players,
which had performance specs and measurements more comparable to amplifiers
(which by the 1980s had very impressive specs), rather than other recorded
media such as LP, cassette and reel to reel tape.
