Have you analysed the frequency spectrum with something like Audacity?Macca wrote:A CD of 'Solitude Standing' arrived this week, gave it a listen Thursday night and zzzzzzzzzzzz...

I still say that there is nothing on Solitude Standing that goes anywhere near the low in the bass, though. I don't have a copy myself since it is not my scene.Have to say that I don't think there is anything on that album that even remotely approaches 20 Hz. I don't know what was being measured but I'm now pretty confident that whatever it is, it is not music signal.
Would you care to explain to me exactly what it is that Audacity is finding that is there on the musical part of Solitude Standing that isn't there on the run in groove?
It's also there on Dead Can Dance Oman.
It's there in greater quantity on Solitude Standing and Oman than on Wishbone Ash's You See Red and Talking Heads And She Was.
Have you tried listening to Solitude Standing on 2 systems: one that starts rolling off at 50 to 60 hz and one that starts rolling off at 20 to 22 hz to determine if there's any difference in the experience, inparticular in the lower bass?
Just because it sounds like there's not a lot of 20 to 40 hz content on Solitude Standing on your system to your ears, doesn't mean to say there isn't.
