I think that you are full of crap! Putting down our efforts to make better audio products only slows down acceptance by the mid-fi manufacturers to make better sounding products. I continue to research on how to make better analog designs, and I applaud manufacturers who delve to make CD playback more acceptable sounding. I still think that it sucks, and only really well tweaked CD players have ever given me sound that is worthwhile to listen to. I don't even listen to it in my auto, even though I have a CD player. It just sounds too 'digital' to me.
I personally don't care if many people are happy with their existing CD player and mid fi electronics. I won't attack their conclusions about quality sound for themselves, but I resent them getting nasty regarding my efforts to make better sound.
I am continually working to make better sounding products. Just this week, I hope to tweak a pair a JC-1 power amps in order to make them even better sounding. Why should I when they already have an 'A' rating in 'Stereophile'? Because I want to make the best sound that I can with my best designs, and it is a never ending quest.
I am sure that it is the same with car designers, as they constantly evolve and hopefully improve their latest models. Certainly, a 1979 Honda is not the same as a 2007 Honda, even if the basic characteristics of the compact auto sedan have been defined for many decades.
