What's up with America?

What better way to gain your attention? I didn't recognize just how good their recordings are till I got my BDP 95. There was always something different about them but they didn't stand out at all. Like a phase issue of some sort, even on vinyl. But there's something special about them. Before the BDP 95 it sounded like there was a saturation issue causing a lack of detail but now that's gone and they're fabulous. So in light of another recent thread, what has been engineered into this great wonder?

I have always liked their music.

Whenever I played them tho, I had to turn the volume upwards. Their recording levels always seemed lower than others'. Perhaps this might account for a sense of lack of detail.

Has this been changed recently? Or does the BDP 95 somehow adjust for this?

a couple of their records were produced by george martin, who did a pretty good job with the beatles. as for their musical merits iw on't comment (altho i did find "sister golden hair" maddeningly catchy).
