Can even a Novice hear differences in Sound Qualit

Egads! I am talking to self degraciating Cavemen! I never even referenced De-Evolutionary Music! What I was saying, is that any attempt to apply a De-Evolutionary practical application to the Sound Quality in worser sounding newer Formats, puts all of Homo Sapiens back in the Stone Age! That includes me, and I don't want to go there! How would "Devo" even work trying to play rocks and clubs for Musical Instruments! You see, it doesn't have any real practical application! Yet, you persist in trying to practically apply a never ending lower Standard of Sound Quality with each New Format for the sake of convenience! What is next, rubbing two sticks together for Music, or are we going to have some super Technically advanced machine to do it for us? It is still rubbing two sticks together, and it still sounds like crap! I know, lets spend $50,000.00 on a supped up Amplifier and Speakers, so we can hear our sticks rubbing together in Super High Fidelity! It is still two sticks rubbing together, and it still sounds like crap! Do you have any other Mega, Mega-Buck High End Audio Gizmo or Wigit that can make our two sticks rubbing together sound any better? No doubt, you will sell your Wife, your Daughter, your Son, your Mother, your Father, to afford this wigit. Anything to avoid even the slightest concideration of an alternative Format, other than rubbing two sticks together! This is madness, it is unhealthy, it is self destructive, it is cutting off two arms/two legs/ and a nose to spite your face! A Jelly Fish has more mental awareness to avoid this exercise in futility, and it doesn't even have a backbone! Is there anyone out there that even has a Spine, I suppose that a Brain attached to it is asking too much! Is there anyone who even knows how to negotiate, to haggle, to shop for the better quality at a lower price? The first step, is to stop dragging the sharp end of that knife across your arm a hundred times. What is your point in self imposed masochistic mutilation? O.K.- you are not worthy of that next C.D., you are not worthy of that next SACD Disk, you are not worthy of that next DVD-Audio Disk, you are not worthy of MP3, now write it a hundred thousand times to make sure that you have got your mind straight! Have you got your mind straight yet! You have better get your mind straight in a hurry! Is this what you are trying to tell me to do? You must be out of your minds to think that I am going to play along with that! I have a backbone, and there is even a Brain attached to it. I can also think, therefore I am, and I am also aware of my own self worth! How about you?

Evolve, Dgarretson, Evolve! You have to learn to walk on land, if you ever hope to grow ears to appreciate Music. Going in the opposite direction, will not bode well for you! Trying to reassert yourself at the bottom of the food chain, well, maybe you were never meant to be at the top of it!

" I am talking to self degraciating Cavemen!"

Oogachaka!

You got it half right, Mapman, now take the Club and bash your brains in. Now with whatever brain cells you have left, repeat to yourself "It sounds good enough" a thousand times. Now repeat to yourself "I am not worthy of a better sounding Format" a thousand times. Next, go out and buy a $10,000.00 Upgraded Gold plated High Fidelity Club, and repeat this exercise ten-thousand times. Next, brag to your knucle headed, knuckle dragging friends about the wonderful High Fidelity,of your Skull cracking, utilizing your Upgraded $10,000.00 Club. Next, use your club on anyone who disagree's or threatens your $10,00.00 Ego bragging rights. Next, use your club on anyone who has a better idea for a better Sounding Format, other than bashing your brains in, and is a threat to your $10,000.00 Ego bragging Tool! Lastly, shun and isolate anyone who disagrees, or doesn't participate in this same exercise.
Now, I am supposed to lay out $10,000.00 for the honor of participating in this High Fidelity Skull Cracking Exercise, how dare I rain on everyones Parade or upset the Apple Cart! You are damn right I have issues, I happen to like my Skull the way it is, thank-you very much! How many more times is everyone going to turn to the little boy who screams, "The Emperor is not wearing any clothes", and SHOOT the messenger! You would think that all little boys would learn to keep their big mouths shut! Well, that is a scene that puts us right back in the Stone Age, everyone running around naked for the sake of imitation, and no-one dares object! I am not crawling back up into the trees, I am not crawling back into the Ocean, I am not lowering myself on the Food Chain, and I will fight for Technological Progress in all things, not De-Evolving or De-Constructing it! That includes Technological Progress in the Sound Quality of New Formats, not sacrificing it for the sake of convenience! What you people are doing is simply Un-Natural, Illogical, Un-reasonable, dragging Human Progress down and me with it! I am just going to have to take your $10,000.00 Gold Plated High Fidelity Club, and shove it deep into your Soul, where the Sun doesn't shine! You can go ahead, and brag about how much High Fidelity you are getting from that!

It is obvious, that this means War! On one side, are those fighting for Technological Progress for the sake of improvement in Quality. This includes Sound Quality, as well as other things. On the other side, are those fighting against Technological Progress for the sake of improved Quality, who would rather forsake Quality for the sake of convenience. Despite the recent Technological History of decline in Recorded Sound, focusing on Digital Reproduction, looking at Mankinds History in Technological Progress in its entirety, it is obvious with each new advancement that results do matter! Rarely do you ever see any Technological advancement offer lower Quality, although most do promise more convenience. Most have tried to offer both, rarely do you see one that sacrifices one for the other, rarer still to see any one actually sacrifice Quality for the sake of convenience. Many Technological advancements have simply faded off of the Market, because they offered convenience, but no real Quality to back it up! Pet Rocks, and Cheta Pets are extreme examples of this!
I can not explain the accepted decline in Sound Quality, in the last 30 years, with every New Format, except to concider it an abberation that is building momentum for a dramatic Market Correction! It is just as hard to predict, as Earthquakes, even though you know one is on the way, just don't know when! History shows, that when any Market has a severe decline in Quality, that there is always someone just around the corner who sees a huge business opportunity to offer a little more than everyone else. The Temptation grows to try and Corner the Market, after all, every other competitor has left itself wide open and vulnerable by offering further and further declining Quality in Music Reproduction. The stresses along this Faultline are growing exponentially, something is eventually going to have to give. Things couldn't possibly remain as they are, and they certainly couldn't remain as they are forever. I am counting on it! I think that it would be ridiculous not to!
