Hi :)  
Thanks :)  That was good to know and interesting.  I didn't feel like you were ranting.  It was 
more about sharing information.  
Thanks and regards from 
Tom :)

If only we could all get music at 24 bit. How fidelity has given way to
convenience. Good pressing -> itunes. SLR camera -> phone camera.

I agree wholeheartedly with Steve! The fact that CD's had to fit into the 700 MB Philips (the 
"inventor") decided that digitalisation to 16 bit was sufficient as it was then a necessity to 
record the same volume as a long-play record (analogue) on a standard size disk. Even at that time 
the analogue reproduction techniques were more that sufficient to reproduce 24-bit but a good D/A 
converter for 24-bit in real-time was not feasible then. Therefore the marketing advertised most 
with the fact that you didn't hear the noise of a record that was old but were very silent about 
the quality loss. And as we all know marketing is much more important than technique!
But I'm sorry for this way OT ranting.
