True, it's controversial, but people often mix what is nice with
accurate playing, this subject have two sides:
One is the fact that the ear won't hear over 20k, and for most adults
(even some younger people this days) 12-16k is max
Despite this, many people are enjoying 60k amps even when the recording
is let's say a 44.1. And also vinyl even when the dynamics and frequency
range are bad which leads to the second fact: Distortion, bad dynamics,
interference and other stuff can sound pleasing.
In my conclusion, one have to respect both sides.
