[QUOTE="Hennie, post: 34947, member: 20"] We are fairly tolerant of dynamic range compression and will probably prefer moderately compressed or gently limited material to uncompressed due to Fletchcer & Munson effects and SPL limitations on both our equipment and listening environment. Few of us have systems and listening environments that will do justice to uncompressed music with a really wide dynamic range. Dynamic range compression is in my eyes essential, unless it is 'Chick with Guitar' type of material or a simple ensemble with just a few instruments. But a few popular "uncompressed" audiophile recordings of simple ensembles were subjected to analogue tape limiting or valve preamplifier limiting instead of compression. The Jazz at the Pawnshop series on Proprius come to mind. [i]Hyper[/i]compression as has been the trend recently is a big problem though. [/QUOTE]
