That statement brings to mind one time when I purchased a CD
and took it home.  Plopped it into the player and out came a
fairly loud (maybe 30 dB below signal) hum.  I checked all the
wiring, all the connections, etc.

Turns out it was cut that way!  Some cuts on the CD were OK.
Store took it back sans question.

How can a reputable outfit send out such stuff?

(Just answered my own question, I am afraid.)
