Then why are you 'audiophiles' traumatizing yourselves by listening to it? it ticks me off that most folks seem to hear it as "good
enough", because if most folks hear it as "good enough" it means we're not going to get a better sound format widely used.
First 'good enough' depends on environment, e.g., ambient noise ---how about that computer fan, much less the noise in a car? Second, why did we evolve CDs if LPs were 'good enough' for most? [Besides portability] You're talking
about making the audio channels a bit (more or less) thinner, but they're too thin already.
