RE: I bought two albums Thursday

You make a good point that many consumers never had anything near good fidelity in their homes, but many did.

And going back to the era of 45's, is really not applicable here.

There was a period between 1989 and around 2002 where CDs sounded very very good, with plenty of dynamic range in the mastering and the use of the original master tapes, along with superb boutique mastering from Mobile Fidelity and DCC, and great labels like Telarc.

Along comes Apple and flips over the apple cart, er, so to speak.

It is certainly NOT all Apple's fault, It takes two to tango, and consumers were convinced by shrewd marketing, and finally musicians caved in too.

I appreciate you saying that regardless of whether you give a damn about Pono or not, ultimately all of us will benefit...more selection, competition, and new remasterings done with care. Where is the downside?
