So in other words nothing beats an old yellow & black Prestige pressing from the late 50s' Long play, Deep Groove, High Fidelity, and don't forget Unbreakable. So go listen to your iPods, itunes, or i whatever, just have a good ear cleaning first.
"The Death of High Fidelity"
Just received the new issue of Rolling Stone in the mail today. It has an interesting article: "The Death of High Fidelity." It deals with dynamic sound compression, reducing "the difference between the loudest and softest sounds in a song". Various sound engineers and producers weigh in on the subject. It's worth picking up a copy.
