This is my whole point, my argument, my *beef* with the entire system
that for so many years had me believing that if I bought a CD I was
getting "the best there was to get" - which was a complete and outright
*lie*.


The average level of the signal on a CD will not affect the "sound" of that
signal. All you are doing is turning the volume up and declaring it "Better"
than a "defective" original. Just because the CD isn't as loud as you prefer
doesn't make it sound any worse. Who lied to you about the recordings. I can
assure you that the MFSL CDs sound as good or better than the originally
released CD made from the original tapes mastered for LP production.
