Adding to that, that radio stereo has never broadcasted HiFi quality sound (20-20).
Extra fidelity can work against the "musicality" of music also.
One reviewer of the latest ultra 4k TVs commented that watching something filmed at this high a level made it seem that he watching the "making of" the movie rather than the movie.
Do we really need to see every pimple covered up with makeup in closeups?
Listening to music is similar. I used to love listening to my stereo (lots of telarcs), but now I'm just happy to listen to the music... You can reach a point of technical perfection, but is that really how the studio envisioned the masses will be listening to it?
I listened to Brothers in Arms for the first time on good equipment and it sounded like a whole new experience.
The reason I have slackened off with age, and most will agree is because even with middle of the road digital audio consumer equipment these days, the quality is a lot better than in the past.
The biggest enemy of analogue HiFi has always been distortion in all its many manifestations.
