People in digital audio forums debate what's a better sounding backup medium: CD-R or hard drive or Dropbox. They swear they can hear a difference. Yet the sha-1 hashes match.

And these are not dumb people; it just shows you what happens when you get a bunch of enthusiasts in a forum. By the time somebody steps in to say "huh?!" it's unstoppable.

I genuinely lol'd at your comment. That's amazing and slightly horrifying at the same time.

I wonder how many audio enthusiasts have actually had the privilege to hear music being made in a studio on proper studio monitors.

It kind of amazes me that, in the digital music age, the best quality streaming services have to offer is 320KBPS lossy compressed copies of CD quality audio.
