I know many people have developed a special attachment to the CD format - its 16-bits, 44.1kHz sample rate, and its simple interpolation of missing samples to "hide" its read errors represent an almost God-like perfection. This not only brings a great deal of comfort and reassurance to its devotees, but gives the format a unique property or 'essence' which means it can never be bettered. As one of the deluded and unenlightened heathens who finds himself unsatisfied with CD, I can only beg my superiors to show mercy in shielding me from biased moderation, and from attacks upon my audio equipment, my hearing, my sanity and my brain's ability to adequately perceive not only sound, but the rest of the universe around me. Alone this sentense shows you think this forum is no good or maintained by wrongly acting mods but you still feel you need to post a question in the same post you insult? If that is not trolling, what is? For the moderation this means they already showed to much mercy imho. They should simply save Hydrogenaudio free of these discussions. I like Hydrogenaudio especialy for that. Esotheric fuzzy talk can be done elsewhere much easier. And please, you people that feel smart to answer questions asked that way with having in mind to strike back with knowledge i learned it isn´t worth it. You loose energy here you better spend on worthwhile topics. In the end you and others may loose interest to ever post again. This is the way trolling works and destroys. These Trolls should never be feeded no matter how, this golden rule is really worth to follow. I have the feeling these days many people try to outsmart evolution with giving to much credit in watching spectral views, not trusting the limits of the human auditory canal anymore. This may be explained to some degree with the success of several superhero movies lately. Everyone wants to be a bit like that Don´t take my post to personal but i think some forums have to draw the line more drastic and need unpopular management to guarantee some standard for the future. If we start to argue about things of the twilight zone as if it were facts to often it would be no good in the long run. To the justifiable question about finding releases with ultrasonic content you may try to google for HDtracks + spectral. This will give you plenty of hits with coloured pictures of releases that may be what you are looking for.
