Perhaps you could suggest a recording that you feel has a good balance
so that we can hear for ourselves? Otherwise, one might think you're the
only one who knows what good sound is.

Try Giants of the Tenor Sax Prez Commodore CCD 7002. 78s from the late
30s. Other than that I have not heard a balanced CD yet.

This is the only one? You don't have an Arcam CD92, do you?

This is not
due to digital or my equipment.Yes it is due to digital. The digital
domain is unforgiving and the pandering and/or incompetence of the
recording engineers are there for all to hear. I call my Bozaks Bad cd
exposers.

Could the high end be tipped up on your system? You may have the
equivalent of a mastering studio monitor that increases glare in order
to expose editing flaws, etc.

For the opposite of good sound get Giant Steps by Trane in
the Bill Inglot remastering on Atlantic/Rhino. What a phoney he is. I
assume he uses a RTA instead of his perfect ears (NO Holes)

I assume he has reasons for his eq choices: recreating his idea of the
original lps/45s (as opposed to the master tape), reducing deep bass to
increase overall level, etc.

Inglot is responsible for the rock reissue from original tapes market.
If he would add 'no eq/no compression' to the equation, I'd be happier.
