@cdc Totally agree. I don't think it's an audiophile thing, though. It has to do with the various technologies of this world trying to get and keep our attention. Some want to nag, some want to help, most want to advertise. Henry David Thoreau watched this happening, and it's gotten geometrically worse. It has spread to all our devices, appliances, etc. Everyone selling, all the time. (Thank you divine capitalism! You are so good! You are so great!) Your best hope of cutting down on these annoyances is, frankly, living a shorter lifespan.
