Good points there. But you failed to realize the fact that most modern, digital-era recordings and digital remasterings have also been futzed with excessively: Heavy-handed EQ, severe compression (almost to zero dB) and/or (in the case of digital remasterings of analog-era stuff) heavy-handed digital noise reduction (or what's called "NoNoise"). And although all NR systems degrade the sound quality at least somewhat, the digital NR systems are notorious for mangling the sound (artificially introducing "swishing" or "garbling" even when such flaws weren't there).And blame all that on the mastering, not on the format. You see, the mastering engineers had to master this digital stuff for the crappy boomboxes which most people own - but many of them went too far to that extreme, making such digital recordings sound AWFUL on even mid-fi equipment (let alone high-end equipment). Of course, you would NOT want the exact opposite extreme, either - that is, mastering only for the high-end equipment which almost nobody can afford, and making even mid-priced equipment struggle mightily just to even produce listenable sound from such recordings.
