It could also be that my ears are more used to the old school sound? Perhaps the new 'brickwalled' sound is an acquired taste? All I know is that I tend to cringe when I hear many of the recently produced tracks. Going back to the old CDs etc., I breathe a sigh of relief. Suddenly everything begins to sound like music again:) If I then switch over to the newly produced music, I feel like I've been shoved into a crappy night club:( ------------------------------------------------------------------------ heisenberg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=59622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98650 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
