Madeline Peyroux/dreamland

I just received the Madeline Peyroux CD "Dreamland" and cannot believe what a hack job was done recording her voice. This is a 1996 release and she clips and distorts on every track. Thats just ridiculous for a modern release and HDCD no less.

I think madeleine is terrific. i'm so disapointed with the CD quality though. I am listening to an Atlantic recording "dreamland" CD/HDCD and the # is 0-7567-82946-24. 1996. Whoever mastered and mixed this should be ashamed. In fact its on the liner notes...Michael O'Reilly what a dunce.

Perhaps it is my system.
Try track 6 "always a use" around 1:50-2:20 when she hits the high notes...seems distorterd to me.

Current system is
wadia 861
proceed amp
B&W N802
synergistic research Ref cabling

I'll have a new amp/speaker combo shortly and hopefully that will fix the problem. I would not of imagined my system could introduce that much distortion

thx andy
