I'd like to know the exact CDPs were tested. ?Were they current

they were not current for sure. These tests were done in service of
the production of his 1994 remasters of the Mercury classical catalog.
This particular anomly was discovered when he was testing the physical
product from various manufacturers. He discovered that with certain
CDPs the CDs from some manufaturers were quite less than transparent
compared to the masters. This observation was later confirmed in a
number of other tests conducted by other parties.


Again, why not publish the details of the CDPs, the test setup,
the stats of the results...this sort of thing would be slam-dunks
for 'subjectivists'. Or was Drake simply unaware of teh appalling
lack of evidence from that side, even while he decided to conduct
such a test?
