"Perhaps you are a music lover, but you certainly aren't an audiophile if you believe that the "average" performance of recordings and equipment is sufficient."
I only have a say on the equipment side. As far as the recordings go I'm at the mercy of others and whatever they deliver is what it is. It makes no sense, in terms of recordings that I am interested in playing, to concern myself with frequencies above 20Khz as for the most part the recordings I listen to are rolled off far below even that threshold.
I've already noted that the high resolution formats are nothing but curiosity's. I can be an audiophile without jumping on and getting burned by every bandwagon that passes by - yea I bit on the SACD bus but have long since bailed. The fact is few recordings have significant or useful energy out to 20khz and far far fewer go beyond.
Just to clarify. I don't doubt high frequency extending beyond 20khz may be important to our enjoyment of recorded music - but unless there exists such a format with a worthwhile library of recordings truly pushing that extreme (not just sounding like it does) it's simply not worth the time or the effort.
