The real question is --- Do I care???

Do I ~care~ enough to spend $300 on a fancy Vacuum Tube amp???

Do I ~care~ enough to buy a subscription to Tidal so I can stream FLAC files???

Music isn't about ~perfection~

It's about having fun and enjoying the art.

Playing Retro Games isn't about ~perfection~

It's about having fun playing the game and just enjoying it for what it is.

What difference does it make whether I play Secret of Mana on a Real SNES with an old CRT for the "Authentic Experience™" or whether I play it on a hacked Nintendo Wii, or whether I play it on a PC using Retro Arch or ZSNES???? It's still Secret of Mana. That's the only part of it that matters ~TO ME~

I can listen to D12 & Eminem in FLAC or MP3 @ 320 KBPS, or even ATRAC on my Sony D-NE320 CD Player, and it's still gunna be the same songs with the same lyrics.

I don't care about "purity"

I only care about my own personal pleasure. And for me, some cheap Skull Candy Ink Plus earbuds or One Odio A71 Over Ear Cup Headphones is juuuuuust fiiiiiine.

I am not an Elitist (except when it comes to lyrics, you won't catch me bumping any of that Psychedelic Mumble Mess).

That’s great for you. I don’t know how it applies to the conversation at hand though.

I have offered no information about my personal preference. You know, because nobody asked. I know that might seem foreign to you. I’m offering facts that answer a specific question and resulting conversation.
