I wonder if Elton John or Jeff Lynne or Geddy Lee ever thought that there would be people in the future arguing on the internet and making this big of a deal. Lol.

Back in the 70s, everyone was listening to AM Radio and everyone was happy and didn't give a shxt.

When we focus ~too much~ on this idea of "perfect" we miss the point -- the point is to just enjoy the music.

Rush & Queen & ELO & Elton John all sound the same on CD as it does on Vinyl, and they would probably be ashamed of us for arguing so aggressively over this shxt.

Who the bloody hell cares that CD is 16bit & 44khz. I don't hear whatever alleged difference the Canine-Eared audiophile snobs are hearing.

And if I want that "Warmth" that CD sound supposedly lacks (it's really just extra Midrange Presence & Harmonic Distortion), I can ~add~ it myself, using RC20 VST.

Radio Stations used to use Harmonic Exciters, like the Aphex Aural Exciter -- to make the music they broadcast sound more lively....
