Are high sample rates making your music sound worse?

It seems from what you said that we're somehow not living up to your standards.

Classical Recordings from the Golden Age
schubert, you’re looks are dead on Brahms’. I don’t know if that’s a good thing or not. Hopefully your home doesn’t look like the one Brahms was born in. CBS is Sony, if I’m not mistaken. The Sony, Szell/Cleveland/Fleischer/Brahms is typically the...
