| MQA - Music Discussion @erik_squires The thing - for me - is concentration. I get lost in the music, partly because the quality of the recording is pretty good and partly because I like the music. So I am trying to improve that part of my listening skillset.As a palate ... | |
| MQA - Music Discussion Thanks Eric. I will keep plugging away. Working on improving my listening skills.But the bottom line is that you're right. We need more recordings to compare. | |
| MQA - Music Discussion Excellent idea. Does your player allow for volume normalization? Are you able to measure the SPL of each version to see if different mixes/masters have different levels? I wrote earlier about there being so many variables in audio. SPL gives me th... | |
