I will do as you request and let you know what I hear.
My point about the critics was that, as you say, if they only speak the truth every 10 years or so and yet engage in deceptive writing all the rest of the time, why on earth would I lend any credence to their thoughts?

BTW, if you're into choral or opera music, like piano these are the most tortuous types of music to sufficiently play back at live performance volumes. The universal distortions embedded in every system will cause a break up and/or flattening out, again causing the listener to whince or the proverbial ear bleed.
But again, if you attempt to listen for these things, you have to listen at volume levels approaching the live performance. Say in the 88 - 98db range. As nothing in the 60-65 db range will cause these issues.
If you're struggling to find music to listen to, I might have a CD around here that I burned (redbook format) I could mail to you with some excellent examples of the fatigue/ear bleeding I'm trying to describe.
Please contact me offlist and I'll give you my mailing address. And thanks for thinking of me, I truly appreciate it!

RW, I burned a CD for you last night.
As mentioned in my email to you yesterday, I apologize as I never saw your email with your shipping address until yesterday.
I should get it out to you in the next day or so and I'll email some notes to you as to what to look for, etc.
I sent you an email.
Good point.I don't put a lot of stock into much of what they say either. But at least they know enough to speak the truth once or twice every 10 years as apposed to those other so-called experts who can't even speak the truth even once.
It would be great to have a fully functional clock. But even a broken clock is right at least twice a day. As opposed to a clock in pieces with no hands on the dial. Right?
An easier test actually for something to look for would be well-recorded piano piece that includes a lot of sharp notes high on the register and played back at volume levels approaching the live performance.
They say piano is the most difficult instrument to accurately reproduce. There's are lot of truth in that statement. But I think a more accurate way of saying it is, "All instruments are near equal in difficulty to reproduce. But the piano may be the most easily discerned to illustrate how far short of the mark our playback systems really are.
Perhaps the best way to look at it is, the piano is perhaps the most offense instrument when demonstrating how far short of the mark our PB systems really are.
The sharp piano notes at reasonably high volumes should make a bee-line to your ear much like a laser beam causing fatique, whincing, or "bleeding of the ear".
BTW, any music is tolerable to the ear at elevator music volumne levels.
