Yep, it's a problem. I have two working record players and some vinyl
left over from my mis-spent youth. When the kids complain about
assorted digital audio oddities, I play a 78 rpm record for them. The
usual reaction is "What that hiss" or maybe "did you really listen to
that"? A few of the older kids have seen VCR quality, which they seem
to tolerate. However, the same kids will go ballistic if there are
any artifacts on their shinny new HDTV screen, their MP3 player
trashes a tune, or their streaming audio/video skips a beat. We have
raise a generation of connoisseurs.
