Redbook Proven to be not transparent

"The first group thinks that "Redbook CD" is pretty darn close to the limitations of human hearing and so is "transparent"

The better recording engineers and subjective audiophiles have known for a long time that high resolution digital audio is needed to transparently reproduce what humans can hear. These people have simply used their God given senses to note the obvious. For a long time a different gang of pseudo scientific hobbyists, calling themselves "objectivists", have conducted experiments that they mistakenly claimed showed that the "subjectivists" were delusional and that nothing better than 44/16 PCM was necessary for transparent reproduction of music.

Recently, the ground on which the objectivists stood has been washed down the river to the sea. The linked thread (and some threads linked off this thread) discuss how this was done.
