Help with a de-emphasis list?

N, I have no exclusive knowledge here. You read for yourself that which ever way the wind blows today... The ink is, yes, why I asked for a members list. It is recent ink too, I might add. Since most of the Eighties pop sounded bright and harsh, I do indeed wonder if the Pre was implemented more than the industry let on. The recording industry that is. There are threads here as well, just type 'pre-emphasis'. Thanks for the other pastes. I am still hoping for other members with the proper players or intact memories to help with a list of material.

N, Here is another interesting observation; when this Petty CD is in my DVD player, the digital stream to my pre/pro will not allow any post processing! To listen to 5 channel stereo or DTS neo, etc, I have to go analog in. 'Splain that to me...

Tom Petty "Southern Accents".

Nice recording. Tom is quite the audiophile. His digital stuff often sounds like analog. Try Wildflowers - great dynamics.

FWIW: Benchmark DAC1 handles pre-emphasis. Many players do - if they do not then they are NOT Redbook standard players.

If your DVD player handles other CD's ok then it is probably the same issue - the pre-emphasis - it may be forcing the DVD player to treat the data a certain way.

Shadorne, So once again it comes down to implementation. I will have to bring this CD with me to auditions, in addition to my demo favs. I talked to Benchmark today, and they confirmed a flag trips the de-emp circuit. I have been wanting to audition their dac. Perhaps I can report back on it's accuracy in this regard.
