why are some cd's so bright sounding

I briefly logged onto the linkwitzlab site. hey Albert and hime design, you often make lots of have lots of sense. Can you translate this into linkwitz's dollars?

I think all new cars should not have radios at all--they are junk!

Bose--are Bose'

It's not a question of "quality" or how much time is spent in mastering the release. The CD sounds that way because the engineer wanted it that way, and the reason is to sound better on non-HI FI playback equipment. Suggestion...use your tone controls. That's what they are there for.

Thanks for your opinions, I will be trying to look for different labels to see if this helps in the future. I find my self buying music now for how well it sounds, which sucks because there is a lot of fun music out there that is so dissapointing on my system...
