| The truth about why modern music is so awful. Too much compression in most popular music. Kills the dynamic range. | |
| Best LPs to Test Turntables The Telarc 1812 Overture with real cannons is excellent for tracking and dynamic testing.I also concur with Brothers in Arms | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? Don't forget https://www.elac.com/product/dpa-1m-monoblock-digital-power-amplifier/I listened to these and thought they were very good | |
