Nostalgia for Audiophiles

I've been trying to figure out if nostalgia can be considered a lossy or a lossless file format.

Memory is certainly a "lossy" format, like MP3. Eventually, the quality is effected and corruption can destroy the whole shebang.

Nostalgia is lossless, because you always remember it being awesome and perfect, but that's through a lossy-filter.

So basically, audiophiles, as awesome as you remember anything being, remembering it is like listening to a FLAC file through a pair of $9 earbuds.

So go ahead and tell me The Hives sound great on vinyl.
