Maybe - but I only get one shot at this thing called life and if I'm wrong, I could end up dead sooner rather than later. Since I already have heart issues, I am just a bit more concerned with a study showing even a slight increased risk of heart attack from THC use. I've already dodged cancer once. Maybe I can dodge this heart thing too.

You might also be unaware of the Mobile Fidelity fiasco. They have been producing hundreds of titles advertised as "straight from the analog masters", while doing the exact same "unprocessed and untweaked" transfers of the analog masters at 24/192 PCM or high sampled DSD and still calling them fully analog LPs (the old AAA). They were not. The uproar over this move continues today. There was a class action lawsuit over it, resulting in Music Direct (MoFi's parent company) settling for something like $10 Million in credits to buyers. There are a lot of unhappy buyers. Personally, I think most of the people who are really upset are just pissed because this showed that "the emperor has no clothes" when it comes to analog vs. digital. There were quite a lot of "analog can't be beat" reviewers that looked really bad when the LPs they were holding up as the best-sounding versions of certain recordings were actually processed in the digital domain. They then looked stupid when they changed their reviews to say that they thought they sounded bad because they were digitally mastered. I have zero respect for anyone who pulled this. I don't think this A/D conversion is a bad thing myself, as I am very aware of digital audio's ability to replicate the full audio spectrum, particularly when done at 24/192 (PCM) or even better when done using high sample rate DSD. It's a whole lot of noise over nothing.
