Worse & worse sound

First we had tubed FM receivers and vinyl records, which, whatever their faults, at least preserved some semblance of musical harmonics, the color of sound, the unique signature of every instrument and voice.
Then we had solid state, in which there was significant loss of harmonics, all in the name of an aseptic sterility.
Then we had CD's, in which harmonics were stripped to practically nil; but we got, in exchange, pitch stability, frequency extension and dynamic range. It was like trading in the family sedan for an extremely uncomfortable hot rod, with no room anymore for the family dog.
Then came streaming, MP3, in which even the advantages of CD's were gone. The sound rivaled old AM in how bad it was.
Ah, progress.
PS. I've been subscribing to "streaming" for years. It's called satellite radio and iTunes. Ever hear of them? Ever hear how bad the sound is?
HEY, STOP PISSING IN OUR CUPS AND TELLING US IT'S CHAMPAGNE.P
