I think we see proof that the recording industry is all about money and not quality. 95% of the mass market music sounds so over processed and electronic that I can not listen to it anyway. The small lables with "real" musicians are about high quality music and high quality reproduction. That's the stuff I enjoy anyway, so no big deal. If todays "artists" want to enhance themselves both physically and electronicly so be it. Their fans are using Mp3 and walkmans to listen through so no harm done.
And we strive for..... what ?
Dear friends,
We buy equipment, audition speakers, change cables, tune rooms, move speakers 2in right, than 1.5in left. We argue, dispute, shout at each other, give help and receive more.
We spend hours, days and more searching for the 'better'.
We praise performers, groups, orchestras - and bury them.
We have one aim : to listen to music as close as the 'original'.
For music heals our wounds, cheers us up, lets us forget day-to day troubles.
Now I find this, re-defining the meaning of 'original' :

I just lost my faith... I must be getting old.
Sorry for the rant.
