I certainly cannot disagree with any of your points. No, it doesn't make life easier. I'm just trying to minimize the disappointment I've experienced with some, but by no means all, new issues by trying to understand it with some empiricism. Is it DDA? Is it lack of quality remastering for the transfer to the vinyl space? I don't know for certain, but that theory at times seems to cover some data points. I know to "never say never", or "never say always"; and that there's no "end all do all". The good news? It hasn't kept me from expanding a music collection that is already probably too large.
