"There really should be some studies on this, but I would say it's pretty clear how people feel about CD. When I see all this evidence piled up, year after year, there's no question in my mind. Having a store in New York City has been a real education for me, an ongoing workshop that continues as long as we leave the door open. A wide variety of people walk in, and many, unsolicited, tell us that they're not happy with CDs. You can't imagine how many times we hear this from people. And these are mostly not audiophiles. They're just people walking down the street?they don't know my name, they're not into high-end audio. And yet, when these same people take a listen to music recorded in DSD or on LP, the response is, "Wow. Now that's something I love." I don't want to be misinterpreted. This is not to say you can't derive pleasure from a CD."
