I recall many audiophiles didn't and still don't like CDs. Vinyl is 
supposed to have a comfortable "warm" sound and CDs bring music "in 
your face." Remember, most of the early CDs were dubbed from the 
vinyl masters that had been EQd specifically for vinyl. The heyday of 
well-recorded CDs is gone in favor of its version of the loudness 
wars. I believe grunge processing has hurt radio over the years.

I've heard young concertgoers complain that live Classical music 
"doesn't sound right."
