Yes, it's called "listener fatigue". ;-) Lack of upper band harmonics
can contribute to it.

*DIGTIAL* Transfers? Now I've heard EVERYTHING!

This reminds me of a clueless individual who thought that buying 5 foot
MIDI cables would have a noticeable effect on MIDI delay over 10 foot
cables. Little did this individual know that for even a single sample @
44.1khz delay to be induced by the wire it'd have to be about 2800 feet
long. ;-)
