True, but he doesn't say that, he says he's looked into avoiding bad CDs.

Again, I agree that its pointless - good music trumps good production. He shouldn't care, and I certainly don't unless its so bad it hurts the music outright.

I just disagree with the idea that being interested in Higher Fidelity is a bad thing - Higher Fidelity is perfectly pleasurable in its own right, as long as one approaches it as "More is More", rather than assuming higher fidelity can "reveal" hidden nasties and diminish your enjoyment - it sometimes does reveal some odd things in a record, like background noise in a studio or something, but its not going to turn a good recording into an unlistenable one, or the other way round.
