Mr. Naïve here...
Is there a site that explains all this "compression" in simple terms? I am gathering this only pertains to digital/CD type music & not LP's.
I look at the site "Album List-Dynamic Range" etc. Tull is one of my favorites, but their albums except for a couple, are about as 2 dimensional listening-wise as you can get. Listen to it on CD and Tull goes about as one dimensional as it can get. But their compression rating shows really well. I like Florence & the Machine, but man their music is all in your face so it gets tiring quickly.
Listening to Radio Paradise & everything sounds so tremendous. Old analog, new digital. I don't think RP plays any vinyl. I asked Bill once VIA email how he does it and he answered me with the processing units he uses. RP can really get Tull sounding up a few notches.
I don't get it and maybe I don't need to. When the music sounds great it makes me smile. I reckon that's the goal. Compressed or not. Whatever that is.
