Is it compression that makes the lower track look fatter or it is simply
more dymnamic? Are we sure they are the same track ;-)?

I do enjoy this.




OK, just for you and with no expense spared, I have uploaded the mono wavs
whose waveforms are in the pic so you can check and make all the comparisons
you want for yourself:

(How broad is your band? They are getting on for 50 Meg apiece!! ;-)

The interesting thing here is that I have always believed that what we get
used to becomes a 'norm' for us (speakers in particular) - to me, the SACD
version sounds comparatively dull/flat/tired/whatever and I wouldn't choose
it over the LP, even if the LP version is *officially* too quick!!

Now, is that *vinyl denial* or what?
