I'm talking about the sonic degradation that results from the presence of RF noise in audio systems, not the break-through artifacts you mentioned. Certainly, these are bad and the designer should be held accountable for them. However, at much lower levels of RF noise, there is still sonic degradation that makes many high-end audio systems sound harsh and cold instead of warm and sensuous (with appropriate program material).I believe the increasing levels of RF noise in typical dwellings will cause high-end audio to disappear unless the designers confront and solve the issues in their products. Many audiophiles now strain to convince themselves that what they hear is better than mass-market equipment, when it is drained of emotional content by the artifacts of RF noise. As the RF noise level rises, fewer will be successful and find the expense worthwhile.
