I've noticed...

I've noticed that you keep saying the same things over and over and refusing to elaborate when called upon. No backup. That amounts to saying stuff of little substance. I think you've quoted someone here, but, nevertheless, you're presenting it as if it's true:

"MQA responded to the key issue of creating better digital masters from the many recordings of the early CDs, when analog-to-digital converters were still in their infancy and yet remained in use far too long (over a decade in most cases)."

This was NEVER proven -- the supposed "de-blurring" of original recordings. I talked directly with Bob Stuart and offered him recordings from the 1980s where the exact A-to-Ds could be identified. Commercial recordings from one of this country's most-respected engineers who wanted these claims verified, too. But there appeared to be no intention from them to verify the claim.

What I can see is that you, like some, have taken the claims at face value instead of thinking them through or asking for proof. It's easy for companies to pull the wool over the eyes of the non-technical. Really, though, you shouldn't fall for it that easily.
