Default Bob Dylan on CD quality

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Bob Dylan says the quality of
modern recordings is "atrocious," and even the songs on
his new album sounded much better in the studio than on
disc.

Arny, you got a problem wid dat?


No problem, I probably would agree with him, if we both sat down and
auditioned the same recordings.

I think that the quality of many modern CD reissues of recordings
origionally issued on CD in the early-mid 80s is atrocious because of the
dynamic range compression that also seems to be endemic in modern releases
these days.

But with his stature and fortune, doesn't Dylan control the mix? This is
strong evidence that vinyl is superior to digital.
