Another thing to consider is buying the DVD if available of a live concert when the DVD has PCM audio since the audio used on the DVD is usually less compressed than the CD counterpart. Same thing applies for buying the vinyl if available since the vinyl is usually made using a less compressed master. Of course all of the above apply for popular, i.e. rock, music releases since most other musical genres remain unaffected by the Loudness War. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ralphpnj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10827 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97950 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
