Where do I start from such a response?

Because vinyl has? And of course 40 dB of groove noise are no problem at all!

I'm primarily referring to the limitations of RBCD digital vs. analog, not particular delivery systems like vinyl. An analog master tape has far better HF extension IMHO than RBCD. While vinyl is not as good as a master tape, it nevertheless does do some things better than a CD.

Yes, I think that hi-rez as mass market format is a waste of time.

I see. You're one of those "they only did it to increase sales" guys. Try running that by one of the engineers who developed the standards. :)

I don't like classical music.

Now I understand your inability to hear any differences using electronic music. Synthesizers and electric guitars do not have particularly complex harmonic overtone structures.

...that's where I should get the impression of the real thing?

Klaus, have you never heard, for example, a live drum kit? It doesn't matter where. A high school gym. A bar. A broadway show. The soft and extended envelope of cymbals? Have you never heard a xylophone up close and personal? The complex harmonic structure of said? It sounds like your musical experience is quite limited.
