Most CDs nowadays seem to be pushed if not into clipping then close (audiophile releases no doubt excepted - but you wouldn't want to be listening to that). The RVG Blue Note "remasters" are a case in point or the Sony Miles Davies SACD releases (notorious for the compression employed on the "remaster"), or last year's Led Zep release which goes easily into clipping and is heavily compressed. These are hardly albums aimed at teen or tweenagers.wadia-miester said:Yes Joel, digital compression is very much previlent in the mass market these days, without question, although this tends to be the standard chart mush and current 'In Vouge' hip and happening bands, but not all cd's are screwed this way.

Yes, It's a bit harder for me to check new vinyl in the PC right now (impossible in fact), but I'd say the same thing very much goes there. Lots of people say new vinyl sounds better than CD (for instance the last Kraftwerk album), but my experience where I own both (for instance some RVG Blue Note remasters on vinyl and CD) is that the sound is very similar - in fact pretty much indistinguishable.julian2002 said:joel,
surely any new vinyl releases are going to be similarly afflicted seeing as most new music is recorded and stored digitally. i would be very surprised if there was one mix for vinyl and one for cd. also don;t vinyl lathes use various bits of adc / dac knobbery too?
just asking.
