However the crappy efforts put into mastering are definitely not enough. My blood boils when "remasters" turn out to be compressed versions of the old etc.
The real problem about the red book vs hi-rez debate is it takes attention away from the really big problem...quality of recordings. But it's easier to market hi-rez, or debate hi-rez, or add more and more sampling frequency or bit depth to hi-rez, than go out and -produce really stunning recordings-.
