[QUOTE="Hennie, post: 67014, member: 20"] Hi-Phibian I think you are correct. I examined a fair number of MFSL CD's including "The Wall" in an audio editor. Most looked like faithful sampling of the master tape. Not even limiters used to trim the amplitude peaks to the same level. It appears they digitized at a safe low level in order to avoid that. A striking difference is the bass. Real uncompressed bass takes up a lot of amplitude which is why so many commercial releases filter and compress bass to death. The result can be flat and anaemic, robbing the music of its rhythmic underpinning. [/QUOTE]
