Are you for real... People couldn't afford these things!!! OPEN UP i dare you!!!

My quote here really amplifies the situation. What you are saying is right, yeah people who care bought better systems, that is obvious but you don't see the other side. Most people couldn't afford them, were they still music lovers? most likely. could they still appreciate talent when they heard it? YES!!!!!!!!!

I'll go on to say again... MUSIC is subjective, the rules are determined by the listener. Dynamic v's less dynamic... Could be argued exactly the same as saturation, distortion on an analog desk etc.

The question lies in does it sound better now than it did before. I think yes... More people can now do what only a few could. More people are technologically talented than ever before. If you can't see or hear this talent, i feel for you!
