  24. If that 5% is from the general population, then it probably does *NOT*
  25. mean that 5% of people who regularly buy music or 5% of people who spend
  26. audiophile sized sums of money on stereo components can tell the difference.
  27. I would expect the averages for these groups to be much higher, and they
  28. are the people that MD and DCC are supposed to sell to.
