There was a front-page article in today's Wall Street Journal about the problem of compressed dynamic range with pop albums (done in order to make everything sound louder). Ted Jensen and Bob Ludwig are quoted. Pretty good read for a lay article.
Viridian, wouldn't it make more sense for manufactures of electronics geared for small, budget, or portable use have an eq switch for such instances, than to forever damage historic documentations of musical performances?
Ok, wrong term, then add a compression switch. Didn't DBX offer something like this years ago on their inexpensive cd players? What ever happend to the idea of "high fidelity"? The lowest common denominator mentality is compromising our culture, and not just in audio.
