Re: "I know people who would consider any reduction in audio quality as unacceptable."

>>> Nope. whatever is better is better even if the prefered version is less than optimal.<<<


>>You're imposing your personal view of how things should be on everyone.<<

I don't think so, well I uppose there are a few oddballs with lots of cash that will only settle for optimum performance. that doesn't really leave much music for them to listen to.

>> Re-read my original sentence. I acknowledged a range of opinions that ran from A to Z. At one end was the one you took issue with with your apparent notion that no one could possibly think that.<<

True, I do take issue with the idea that there are audiophiles that will simply not settle for anything less than the optimum. It must be a lonely life with the same few recordings playing over and over again. Then there is the looming doubt such folks must have to live with. Is this really the best possile sound or am I settling for something less?" Yeah, there may be a few folks like that. I don't know any. You say you do. What are they like? What do they listen to?


>> At the other end were people who would tolerate a horridly degraded LP just because it was an LP.<<

I can't say that I know anyone that falls into that catagory either.

>>I've certainly seen a wide range of opinions on many subjects on Audioasylum. Don't say I agree with them all but I certain acknowledge they exist. <<

Maybe they do. I have also seen a range but I have not seen either of your extremes.
