i think you missed my point... i know and agree with what you are saying... but keep in mind, its not just different pressings, its a REMASTER of the same thing. do you think the artists *approved* of the gain increases in the remasters? so take an album that you claim is supposed to be quiet on one disc, and loud on the other, where thats intentional. do you believe the remaster will preserve that difference? do you believe that the artist is even aware of whether the remaster does or doesn't preserve it? i don't. and that gets to the heart of the matter, that the artist was ALSO highly likely to be unaware of the original difference, especially in cases of previously released material, (ie. stuff that was vinyl first). again, and i mean this, kudos to you if you have the listening discipline to not adjust the volume during a multidisc album playback. but afaic, that defeats the point of RG itself in the first place, (at least to some degree). i realize you disagree, but i appreciate the debate. -- MrSinatra www.LION-Radio.org Using: Squeezebox2 (my home) / SBR (parent's home) / SBC (my home) - w/SC 7.3.2b - Win XP Pro SP3 - 3.2ghz / 2gig ram - D-Link DIR-655 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57543 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
