| CD sound quality: original pressings vs regular remaster vs MFSL, etc Greater dynamic range is always desirableNo it isn’t. Make this experiment:Take your most dynamic cd and play it in you car when you drive somewhere.You will greatly be disappointed that in that noisy environment you will not be able to hear the f... | |

And not saying oh you have the song on format X that... | |
