An interesting little piece

Lots to think about here. Thanks, Jenn.

For one thing...it seems to challenge the idea often
promulgated here that there is poor long term auditory
memory.


This is only because yiou can't state the issue properly, Harry.

The proper statement of the issue is that there is poor long term memory for
certain subtle details.

Apparently Harry, you lack the experience or mental powers required to
compare and contrast the difference in sound quality related to the same
musician playing the same music on two different musical instruments
(relatively large), and the difference in sound quality related to the same
musician playing the same music on two different good amplifiers or two
different digital formats, given that the lesser format is 16/44 or above
(relatively subtle).

But thanks Harry for again providing more powerful evidence that we can use
to establish your lack of experience and ability to do critical thinking.
