As if you would notice on AM or even FM.

Can't say I dissagree. But I assume the reaction at the time was simply
that, "Other CD players are available that don't do it, so might as well
avoid the Sony and use an alternative". That's what I think I read at the
time, anyway. I'm just reporting what I recall being said. Others outside
the UK may have reacted quite differently for all I know. I suspect NHK
might have favoured Sony over Philips. 8-]

However, the original x4 chipset of Philips was a neat idea and worked
nicely. So not exactly a bad choice. My 1st gen Marantz player using the
same chipset worked nicely for decades. May still do so, although its been
in a box in the shed for ages, which may have upset it by now.
