General audio topics that don't fit into specific categories.

You don't get out or listen much do you?

You said "Your strange belief that vinyl records and cassette tapes have better resolution than Redbook CDs is one of the most bizarre beliefs I've ever read over 40 years as an audiophile."

It is not a belief but something that you can prove to yourself with the following recordings (among others):

Here are some sonic exercises for you:

Compare ANY of Classic Records 192/24 Bit HDAD DVD-Audio's to Classic Records 200 Gram LP versions. For an even bigger shocker compare Classic Records 192kHz DVD-Audios to Classic Records 45-rpm versions

Compare ANY Groove Note SACD to its 200-Gram LP Version.

Compare ANY Reference Recording HDCD to its PURE ANALOG LP version.

Compare ANY CD to the audiophile LP version.

Here is a recording you can compare in LP, CD and Cassette:

And this is how they rank, IMHO in sound quality

You said "Exactly what are you smoking to believe that any analog cassettes ever made have better resolution than CDs?"
Exercise play any CD and play the real time duplicated audiophile version (MFSL, Nakamichi, In Sync Labs, Aestheic Audio etc.) and listen for yourself, no drugs needed or desired.
