Good read. Pleasantly surprised to see it was written by Gopnik. I read his ’Paris to the Moon' which is one of my favorite books.

Um, I found it boring and not very informative. Understanding on how 3D sound works is something we all should have known many moons ago. Also, the relative reason we are attracted to music and its recreated form is not news, either.

At one time we all were listening recreated music through compromised electronics. It was the love of music and the exposure to quality that got us moving. However, some folks will never value quality as much as we do. And, for them, good enough is good enough.

I'm a burger fan but I would never eat a McDonalds' burger. Although, many burger fans only eat at McDonalds. That doesn't make them any less of a burger fan.
raymonda,

     There's one like you in every group.

     Sometimes it's better to resist posting if you have no constructive input.

     I think your now the undisputed leader for Audiogon's 2017 WORST POST OF THE YEAR award!

Congrats Sunshine,

Really? 

Because I said it was well written but not informative. Because I said what attracts folks to music is different.

I because I said I like burgers but not McDonald's but that doesn't make me better or worse than anyone else.

I'm miffed.

If the way I said it offends you, well, my apology. It wasnt meant to.

I think if you read any post I have ever submitted you'll agree that I'm straight forward and without malice.
