"difficult being an audiophile "
The left hand doesn't know what the right's doing.
Aren't you aware that the listening public - PLUS - people who count themselves among the 'audio aware', love compression. Love it. Want more of it. Why do you think they swallow it whole?
You may reject the masses as uninformed and uneducated about audio. Fine. But, in the audio community, there are tons of people who demand the lowest fidelity possible. The guy posting as FRG7SWL just ran a thread explaining his ultra-low-fi, ultra-electronic-processing, ultra-unnatural-sound preferences in ultra-clear terms.
Aren't the rest of you aware of what the guy sitting right next to you's doing? For that matter, Stereophile Magazine's been on a rip-down-the-audiophile-ideals crusade since the 1990s, jumping into even higher gear by adding The Prophet to their staff, with his craze for crappy old gear.
If you need any further proof of the devolution toward the Low-Fi abyss, just click over to the Vintage Board right here on AA. [Again, right hand unaware of the left]. There you'll find guys wetting themselves over TV/radio consoles [CONSOLES!], phonographs, and even table radios.
And you guys here are complaining about a little digital compression? Ha Ha Ha. Spitting into the ocean. There's a tidal wave of degenerate low-fidelity all around you and morecoming, and you guys are blissfully unaware.
