I like all of the music that I like, but sometimes the high frequencies
on certain CDs hurt my ears. It certainly depends a lot on the CD player
as well (with the digital to analogue converters in it), & since I got this
splendid new CD player about a year ago, I don't have the problem as often
any more, but I still do with some CDs. & they hurt in this way unique to
inadequate digital audio, something that never happens with good quality
all-analogue recordings. I would like to see a higher standard sampling
rate for digital audio, & bit rate, too. That's all, bye.
