Agree 1000%.
Back in those days, with analog components there was a direct connection between what one had and what one heard. There was no 44/16 "ceiling" and unknown (at the time) forms of distortion (the "J" word was yet to hit the scene). When digital was introduced there was no more pure sound, just various forms of impure sound, disconnecting the previous coupling between money spent and quality sound. My late wife referred to CD sound as coming out of a "black hole" compared to LP sound, and this was on a high end system in the early 90's. The "high end" was an attempt to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear, which was correctly perceived by potential customers as a scam.
Good riddance to bad rubbish. All of my new audio components are pro audio products. I have bypassed the "high end" market entirely. (This may not be the best solution for people lacking a technical background, as these products are designed to be sold to customers who know how to correctly set them up and operate them.)
