This Is Disgusting.....

I'm listening to Rush "Snakes & Arrows", but this time on a 1990s-vintage Magnavox CD changer..... It's like I'm listening to a totally-different album.....

Now I know why I thought Neil Peart didn't sound right the previous go-around.... He sounds better now.....

I think I now know what people mean by "pace, rhythm, and timing"..... The PC playback apparently whacked the rhythmic pulse out of the music.

The HF has a little "hash", but I hear much deeper into the recording. The bass is also more-linear.

Now I think this is a really-good album.....

The sick part is I thought I was getting decent sound from the PC. It definitely sounds better than most PC-based playback I've heard in recent time.

Also explains why opinion of a lot of new albums are all-over-the-place.... I've never encountered such different opinions on music like I do today.
