Agreed. If we value the sound of real, we had best support it.

We can do that by buying more classical music and jazz, and
differentiating
between those that are better-recorded (i.e. more natural). And whereever
possible, supporting those labels/reissues that do the same. Pop is
another
story, although even here there are better and worse recordings.

We can also do that by stopping the dissing of hi-rez formats and starting
to support them.

Even if they are in no audible way superior? What's the point of supporting
something that costs more and sounds the same?

The companies issuing in this format by and large pay much
more attention to "natural" recording/mastering.

But do people hear it differently than they would the same recording done
with lower resolution, such as a standard CD? I know of no evidence that
says they do. In fact the evidence says that what's called "high rez" is
not audibly superior, or even different than the same recording in a lower
rez.
