I never said ALL engineers were guilty of bad practices, and
besides, I came to realize two years ago where the "hot CD"
edict came from.

Semi-related, look at the levels on the DR Database entry
for the 1987 CD release of Billy Joel's "The Stranger"

http://dr.loudness-war.info/album/view/88060

Only a few of the tracks peak to within 1dB of full scale,
with one track peaking 8dB below it(!)

I OWN this edition, and it sounds just great on my
players.


Like dull sound, meet Keith!...
