I was in the original group that the movie, The Men who Stare at Goats, is based on. George Clooney played me. No goats, no glory. šŸ šŸ šŸ šŸ‘€The Amazing Randi is remarkably spry for a 90 year old. But he went down like a sack of potatoes.

I am no stranger to controversy. The Amazing Randi is actually a very nice guy.http://www.realhd-audio.com/?p=5022http://archive.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/135-swift-november-30-2007.html 
Do any of your Rolling Stones recordings bring "Satisfaction"?
Just to mention the irony about the DSD CD Stones releases circa 2002 - they were produced by Abkco, you know, the company that pretty much botched the original Digitally Remastered Stones stuff way back when. All is forgiven. Virgin Records reiss... 
What define "musicality" ? And what constitute "musicality" in audio ?
Answer to mapmanā€™s question - everything sounds better with tubes. Especially water sounds, applause, train sounds, voices, helicopters, guitars, violins. Perhaps surprising to many Sony Walkman CD players sound like tubes, at least my hopped up o...

I wonā€™t bring up your other logical fallacy, you know, Appeal to Authority. Twice, actually, but whoā€™s counting?

Stones on DSD CDs are outstanding. If you donā€™t believe me pick up High Tides Green Grass or Though the Past Darkly, the ā€œbest ofā€ DSD CDs are pretty inexpensive on eBay. I have quite a few now. šŸ˜›

It makes very little sense to talk about what a recording studio or audio engineer does wrong. Itā€™s too late to change that. The only system that makes sense to talk about is the home system. To answer the OP directly, itā€™s not really true that ā€œw...

oregonpapa, Iā€™m picturing you wearing bombers and pegged pants and a hiney binder. 
What define "musicality" ? And what constitute "musicality" in audio ?
Musicality is a mirage, a spectre, a chimera, an illusion. There is no standard for musicality. And there is no ideal for musicality, just like thereā€™s no ideal for sound quality. Everything is relative. As Bob Dylan says at the end of all his son...

You canā€™t debunk something thatā€™s not bunk.
