High Resolution Panel? No bias involved? How have the recordings been presented? "Now, please listen to the SACD recording..."?
Unless someone can prove the difference to be audible via double blindfold test (with comparable recordings, of course) there is no reason to believe you. Or am I missing something?
some time ago i watched a tv documentary about neonazis in eastern germany... the image that stuck with me was some fat hairless 21 year old drinking canned beer in his bed while listening to ravel's bolero and telling the interviewer something like "i don't know what the future will be but it will sure be national" (don't know the exact statement but he did use "national" in that way...)
So what?
XP? Date of last installation? Sounds like a reinstallation is in order. If you decide to stick with a Microscrewyousoft OS on your PC - put a properly configured router between your modem and your machine.

Despite the scary corporate psychobabble, I like this music. The arrangements are quite lively and interesting. Really, it's not much different from a lot of the instrumental music I collect¹.

Revvin' up your engine
Listen to her howlin' roar
Metal under tension
Beggin' you to touch and go
Highway to the Danger Zone
Ride into the Danger Zone
Headin' into twilight
Spreadin' out her wings tonight
She got you jumpin' off the track
And shovin' into overdrive
Highway to the Danger Zone
I'll take you
Right into the Danger Zone
You'll never say hello to you
Until you get it on the red line overload
You'll never know what you can do
Until you get it up as high as you can go
Out along the edges
Always where I burn to be
The further on the edge
The hotter the intensity
Highway to the Danger Zone
Gonna take you
Right into the Danger Zone
Highway to the Danger Zone
