I don't know. Think about this. You listen to music on your $6000
stereo
and it sounds good. When you call a store and are put on "hold", that
same music does not sound so good over the telephone. Why? Think about
all those spices and connections on the phone wires. That must be the
difference. If the phone company used straight runs of Monster Cable,
we'd get the same good sound.


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.

I am thinking the 25 cent speaker in the hand set may factor in.
