: 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?
:
: We're not talking mixing, we're talking mastering.
:
: This is strong evidence that vinyl is superior to
digital.
:
: Total nonsense, because we're comparing CDs mastered in
the 80s with CD
: mastered in Y2K+.

Arney you should be an Olympic Gymnast. That was an
excellent backflip with double twist ;-) Correct me *IF* I
am wrong here but don't we have 1 master tape that is then
mixed for CD and the same master tape that is then mixed
(RIAA EQed) for vinyl?
