Alas in the real world, many don't seem to have been made that way.
Alas, the same can be said for LPs.
And therein lies the crux of the matter.
After decades producing poor quality media the industry wishes us to exonerate their blatant lack of professionalism.
They hope to avoid responsibility for poor equalisation decisions in the past by claiming the current betterment in fidelity is due to increased bitdepths and sampling rates in new replay files.
A promise of professional mastering this time around would have been more than satisfactory, rather than deceiving the public even further.
