Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

RE: he's not completely wrong ...

By less forgiving of recording and playback implementation, I meant in terms of the subjective listening qualities I'd listed earlier. I've listened to many relatively noisy, or high distortion, or limited bandwidth analog sources which, none the less, remained 'musical' and 'natural' sounding in ways which too often eludes CD to my ears. Examples are, FM radio, cassette tapes, and well worn LPs. Again, the issue which critics have long had with CD are not related to the traditional objective parameters. Indeed, CD has always excelled at those. The issue has always been certain, yet important subjective qualities. These have been well enumerated over the years.

I hope you realize that I might provide an example to illustrate my chosen point without it necessarily having to have something to do with an example you provided to illustrate your chosen point.
