Default Advantage of tape over MD?

Oh, by the way, have you seen the screenshot?

Yup, and it's utterly meaningless. Now, *you* might prefer all music
to be reduced to 'normalised' pop-culture crap at maximum loudness,
but the *artists* likely thought that not all music is *supposed* to
peak at 0dB FS. For you to even *dream* that you have a fraction of
the mastering ability of MFSL, is truly breathtaking arrogance. I
guess your volume control goes up to 12..................


But surely you can see that just by looking at the screenshot that I
have done nothing to the music. It's the same both ways. It only
*looks* different when really it is not. If you think my version is
"too loud" then turn down the volume. It's that easy.

BTW, I have seven versions of DSotM on vinyl and CD, and the MFSL CD
is my preferred version. Of course, I haven't yet heard the
surround-sound SACD, and it's well-known that DS was *intended* for
multi-channel performance.


Yes, I've never heard the original quad but clearly it was not intended
for stereo. The SACD version will be a welcome and long-overdue correction.

You seem to be totally unaware that the dynamic range of the *music*
is only some 70-75dB at most, hence it's utterly pointless for some
clown like you to come along and insist that the last half-dozen dB of
the 93dB of a CDs natural range *has* to be employed.


You're failing to understand my purpose for the normalization.

For some bozo to attempt to 'normalise' all his music to some
notional -10dB average while avoiding peak clipping is an utterly
disgusting barbarity.


For my purpose in having done so, it actually makes perfect sense really.

I hate to think what you'd do with Beethoven's 'Moonlight' Sonata....


Oh, well, naturally, I'm pump that up even more.
