Yes, yes! He gave a rather long and well thought-out dissertation in Guitar
Player magazine a few years ago that included that analogy. I've probably
bored Wilson and Glenn at length with my own philosophical and aesthetic
disagreements with digital sound, and so I won't repeat it all here, but I've
only just within the past couple of weeks capitulated and bought a bona fide
CD player. I feel kind of dirty now . . .
