Don't let it be forgotten that E. Brad Meyer was doing blind tests at
AES Conventions in the early 1990s to "prove" that TDK's latest cassette
tape formulation produced recordings that could not be distinguished by
ear from the original CDs. :-)

See my "As We See It" essays in the September and October issues of
Stereophile, which outline the results of some blind tests that come up
with different conclusions.

The Pioneer player used in the Meyer/Moran tests has a measured dynamic
range with hi-rez recordingsd no better than CD, so perhaps it is not
surprising that they ended up with negative findings.
