"Young said he also wanted to wait until better digital sound quality was available. He dismissed CDs and digital music tracks - 'My heart goes out to them,' he said of people listening to music on their iPods and other MP3 players - and said their poor sound quality has been destructive to the music industry."

Amen.

Neil has been a pioneer with new formats etc. for better audio quality. Remember when Mirror Ball was one of the first releases with HDCD encoding?

That standard hasn't much caught on, but at least KOJ and company were able to make some money selling Pacific Microsonics to Microsoft.
 
I borrowed one HDCD, but found no difference, though my sound system responds well to the quality recording. Sometimes it is not a bottleneck. No, most often it is not a bottleneck.

Edit: right now listening to Diana Krall's CD I heard a rattle... I brought a signal generator and went from 20 Hz to 20 KHz, but did not hear anything... I put that CD back on the same tune and heard the same rattle again...
It is an ordinary CD, but it fooled me well. It means, it was recorded properly No blue nor ultra-violet rays may help to make bad records better.
