This doesn't surprise me at all, and is one of the reasons I typically prefer listening to vinyl. Over-processed audio + endlessly-edited music just (to me) results in a rather characterless, sterile product. Sure, I buy SACDs and CDs, but only to fill a specific need or interest. And as far as actual listening time, I'd say that 80% of the time I spend listening to music is vinyl, 15% DVD video, and only 5% CD/SACD. This is really unfortunate, given the talent of today's musicians and orchestras, but there were great performers and orchestras decades ago as well, with more musical sounding recordings.
