Sam here how do you explain the fact that you can rip a 1st press vinyl album to digital and the sound is the same and when the record company does the same thing with the actual source it’s all distorted and unlistenable
lnxs kick 1987 1st press vinyl dynamic range 14
lnxs kick 2010 digital remaster mixed by bob clearmountain dynamic range 6 and unlistenable!
how could that not be on purpose? It makes mono AM radio sound - audiophile.
Dynamic range will decrease until someone issues a recording with 0db of dynamic range. We will have successfully achieved silence.
The original CD release had a DR of 14 as well. I blame earbuds.
