I certainly agree. I was one of the early adopters of CDs when they came out in the 80s. I still play some of those old CDs today. They sound somewhat harsh and strident compared to todays CDs. I can never relax and enjoy the music; I always find myself turning the volume down. I wouldnt say they are awful, but the problems are certainly noticeable. I have none of those complaints with todays CDs. I also agree that the recording and mastering of records or CDs can make a huge difference. I have a recent CD of Ella Fitzgerald and an LP of Dave Brubeck that are so bad I wont even play them. On the other hand, there are some CDs that I like to play, not because I like the music, but because they sound so good.
