How Science Got Sound Wrong

Amusing but i'm worn out--my IQ must be below 100.  Attempting to distill all of this down to its essence i conclude that no one has really refuted atdavid's argument--which i have further distilled down to: "Neil Young is full of s**t"--well, heck--we all knew that to start.

I'm going to the bar with avsjerry to live with it 😀

Neil Young would probably have had a much different outcome had he known any audiophiles who were into tweaks. As I’ve oft observed not much good can come of playing untreated CDs on stock un-tweaked systems, especially in-tweaked CD players. 

I doubt he has any hearing left anyway--especially after all those sessions with Crazy Horse--i suppose i could cut him some slack and interpret his rants as being solely about compression of dynamic range in digital?  Nah, even though i like his early work he's still full of it...

"...not much good can come of playing untreated CDs on stock un-tweaked systems..."

Would Neil Young's CDs become good if treated, or it is a little too much to wish for?

>>>>Sadly Neil Young was onto the whole CD scam before dynamic range compression set in. But that probably didn’t help. Apparently there are people in this world who find CDs completely objectionable, you know, what with the thinness, shrillness, two dimensionality, and missing information.
