Russell ... your Q touches on a subject that has been discussed quite a bit in various OPs. Namely, why isn't the younger generation interested in good audio? Instead, it seems like they like "ear bud" music that's just compressed distortion, IMO.
Right now I'm playing a London CD of George Solti conducting the Chicago Symphony Orchestra performance of Tchaikovsky's 4th Symphony. I don't think it's a HDCD, but even still it's a really great recording and musically engaging. I seriously doubt many kids would be that interested.
Maybe there's a price barrier. Maybe it's a social thing. Dunno. But as long as there's good music to be had, while my hearing lasts, I intend to listen to good music.
