Excellent indeed. Very informative. I remember the "magic-marker around the CD" thing rockstar. By the time I bought a CD player the fad was over.

Lot of audio snake-oil out there.

I don't WANT to think mp3s sound as good as wavs but I bet in a double-blind test I wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

I like vinyls and cassettes but don't claim they sound better. I could probably tell vinyls from CDs but it would be due to the records crackling - not a good thing. I just LIKE them because they're retro and big and I can see them spin around. But better sounding? Doubtful.
