ABX results from a properly designed and proctored test, or it's anecdotal. ... Engineers developed mpeg 4. It is Engineers that implemented the changes thinking that the General Public wouldn't notice the obvious degradation with both Audio and Video. ... Indeed, engineers developed it.

Incidentally, I have heard the high quality AM mono feeds from our national broadcaster, as sent from Sydney to further north via 15kHZ equalised cable pairs. It was very good quality through the Telephone Exchange monitoring amplifier, and most material was from LP and high quality turntablesi.. Progress ? I think NOT ! ... So have I. But I heard it on 15" Tannoys both direct from the desk and via the off-air monitor, not tiny boxes with 4x6" radio speakers in them (still have a telco monitoring amp as a signal tracer). And the "high quality turntables" had Stanton 500 carts with spherical styli. I think you're forgetting that the "good old days" weren't really as good as you think. Granted, we thought they were good then, but we have moved on. Progress? I think so.

The bottom line: If you call Michael Lavorgna a Liar one more time without revealing your identity, I believe their is a name for this. It's called the truth.
