Hi Walt. Dear Walt, you probably get to hear other DJRD's cd's every now and then, on other people's stereos, right? Are you sure the copy you own sounds "worse" than other DJRD'd cd's (or vinyls)? I'm asking because you wrote that: " the beginning of Overture is inaudible, so you have to push >up the volue (I know it's supposed to be quiet, but I mean truly inadible), >then abruptly it jumps up say 20 db" - and, frankly, Walt, the 20 db jump up is >exactly how the song was recorded (but only if i understood what you meant and i >think i have, at least i hope i have). Same thing happens in Paprika Plains, and >again, what you describe as a defect is is exactly the way it was produced/mixed. I may be wrong, sorry if i am, so i had to ask you if you know any other copies that sound "better".
Mack...if you could tell me what's wrong with the new Hissing you bought (The email Walt was talking about didn't reach me, you see) - i'd love to know, and if it's not a "wrong imperssion" about the record being defective - well, i may have a pleasing solution for ya'.
