If you look through this area, you will find a very interesting video concerning jitter, wow, and other BS as well as bit-perfect that points out quite accurately that humans can't really resolve small differences. It seems the preferences of the studio make way more difference than <supposed> golden ears. P -- pski real stereo doesn't just wake the neighbors, it -enrages- them..
