 | JasonA: Are you comparing the old CDs to the 2015 CD remasters? Have you heard the 2015 remasters on vinyl or 24-bit/192kHz HDTracks files? The new CDs, as well as HDTracks 24/96 uses a different mastering than the others. They are much more dynamically compressed (louder) than the vinyl and 24/192 files. Check out the HDTracks 24/192 files, they are the bomb! As an example, here are some dynamic range numbers that compare the 2015 versions of Diver Down. The CD has a DR of 7, while the 24/192 files are DR 12: http://dr.loudness-war.info/album/view/92643 http://dr.loudness-war.info/album/view/91892

are you saying that the hd files were remastered differently than the cd files? If so i’ll have to listen to them. The fair warning cd version is not pleasant to me, sounds over processed. I cannot comment on any of the others because I haven’t heard them except 1984. The 2015 1984 sounds better than all the other releases to me. If you look over in the newbie forum you can see a more detailed comparison of the versions I have. Look under the hello post. JasonA: Are you comparing the old CDs to the 2015 CD remasters?
