I'm Just Not Hearing It..., Do You???

I've been listening to Since I've Been Loving You but maybe it was lost in the transfer to CD because I remember hearing it in my youth (better ears?) on LP.

Do you hear it on your system and if so, does one media convey it better than another?

We are listening for the "squeak" in the kick drum pedal assembly.

I listen to the music and enjoy it. I really don't get caught up in the media I use. It's much easier for me to close my eyes and forget the equipment, much more  enjoyable of an experience. But I get your question...just not my cup of tea.

I only listen to CD. I'll listen for the squeak tonight.

Curious minds want to know!

I first heard the squeaks many, many years ago, assumed everyone heard it.

It's EASILY heard ONLY if you have this press,

played on a Tech Das Zero w/ Etsuro Gold cartridge.

Seriously, at least on my modest rig and period US press it's subtle, but you have to be focused on listening for it-that takes away from the listening experience.

Kinda like hearing hearing the palm of a hand on the back of the guitar neck.

I'm guessing on  a generic CD  it's buried from the processing?
