You Are Correct, But................

Isn't this an indictment of consumer-grade audio, suggesting it's pure unadulterated crap?

But then again, since almost everything in recent popular music is processed and Auto-Tune'd to death, it would likely be ghastly painful to listen to if it were not overly compressed. I contend that a lot of the compression is to cover up artistic deficiencies in the music, maybe more so than the sonic limitations in consumer-grade audio products.
