Today, few CDs even come close to making good use of

dynamic range, and of how clipping distortion is now a "style" rather
than a *defect*. But even more sad is how even supposedly superior
audio formats like DVD aren't being allowed to live up to their full
potential either.

And here I was, thinking that the recent "hyper compression" madness
was part of a master plan - to deliberately destroy the music on CD
albums so that the same recordings with better sound can be sold again
next year on Super Audio or DVD Audio.
Maybe they are plain deaf and incompetent after all?
