All of it is genuine, but some people don't know how or where to listen and some people just cannot hear it.
Some people are not able to hear a record that runs slighly slow, some people can't hear wow and flutter (go google, these are real audio words
), some people cannot hear the jitter (the deviation in or displacement of some aspect of the pulses in a high-frequency digital signal, says wiki) of a CD player. Some people cannot hear dropouts in an old tape.
This has nothing to do with the quality of your ears, it's more like a sensitivity. I, unfortunately, can hear it all very well. Which is ****ing frustrating.
