Perhaps the difference might be found in the typical length of stereo
cables are
somewhere between 3 and 6 feet while the telephone company runs cables for
miles.

Just a thought....

Telephone equipment is designed to operate ONLY in a narrow band of the
frequency range of the human voice, and the frequency range of the human
voice is generally somewhere between 300Hz to 3500Hz.

Music can cover the entire frequency response of the human ear/hearing, from
roughly 20 Hz, to 21Khz in the very young.

IOW, much of the frequency range of the music is filtered (highs and lows)
out of the telephone line before it gets to your ears.

I still believe Edwin was just joking ...
