I think the change, in part, is due to the fact that with CD and advances in amplifier and speaker technology the default fidelity setting is "high enough" for most people. I still cringe when I actually listen to a set of Bose or B&W speakers in a quiet setting. So ... when you have all that road noise in your car AM radio is good enough if the station is close. When you want to walk around and listen to music AND don't have any cash, the ear buds are good enough. When your goal is to impress your peers, rumbling and shaking and blinking lights is good enough. And ... drum roll ... when you are at home the default CD player is good enough.
