Re: New Mark Knopfler album

I have the Money for nothing best of compilation CD which has good DR. It was mastered in 1988 which explains things.

Re: New Mark Knopfler album

I think in this day and age most people listen through Bluetooth in less than quiet environments. The majority holds sway. I have to admit that modern compressed masters sound better on my Bose Mini sounding than those with a wider dynamic range which come into there own on the hi fi systems. The is...

:teasing-poke:
In 79 we did not have mass market, low cost digital devices and DR was capped by the constraints of analogue play back.

If it follows recent trends the vinyl version, at a high price, will have good DR and the digital version will be brickwalled. Don't see why there can't be two versions of the digital master which could be labelled radio and hifi.

That's not even a joke, it's a snapshot of my life. :lol:
Me too and the 70s and 80s as well. Today I'm not even sure what day it is. :lol:

Re: Schumann Resonance

I am not the only one who has had problems with neighbours. My post at the top of this page barely scratches the surface. They came around to complain about my "loud" music the day they moved in. That set the tone for other issues which would involve a hate crime against my wife, Police an...

Re: Speaker Stands

I don't think there is one solution for all applications. In my set up I have found that oak stands and Iso Pucks work very well. Certainly better than the previous heavy metal stands blu tac set up. The bass is a lot tidier and better defined. I believe that less energy is being transferred back to...
