So by corollary, may I conclude that redbook CD does not rule, I assume?

Maybe so, but, so what?

After endless discussions here and elsewhere, and lots of listening with my own ears, I still don't buy into the propaganda that the medium is too limited to deliver excellent sound quality.

If the panel's conclusion is that record companies should pay more attention to quality control and producing better recordings not only on redbook but all common audio formats, I'd agree with that.

Also, for the masses, it would help to lower the price of high end audio equipment so more people can enjoy it.

Thank you.
