I can dig what you're saying.

In these kind of conversations I always end up finding myself a bit perplexed at the thought that nobody ever seems to complain about Elvis or Chuck Berry tracks being at a lower Bit rate, or not EQ'd properly, or not having optimum reverb settings.

Ultimately I think that our ongoing search for a crystal clear and utterly perfect sound is a diversion from the "real" goal- which is surely to make good music.
