Sure there are a handful of mastering engineers who have tried to do it right, like Ted Jensen, Bob Katz and the like, but they are few and far between and often have to battle artists and record execs who only care about if their shit is loud enough. ****ing stupid CDs.

I highly doubt that the masses will even notice the difference, let alone, care enough to make the change.
As I've mentioned so many times, music has become disposable. It's background noise. It's become completely devalued the past 20 years and unfortunately for people like me, it will only become worse.
