Speaking at this year's South by Southwest Festival in Texas, Reed said: "It's making it easier to make things worse. I don't know what the answer is. People [have] to demand a higher standard.
"Or the other view is to say you're being elitist, and only the people who can afford [high-quality music equipment] can get it."
Reed was joined on stage by Moby after his keynote speech, who performed a version of 'Walk On The Wild Side' with the rock icon.
