Funny stuff

Ha ha, I fell into that trap for a while, then I realized that some of my albums sounded completely fine to me while others sucked. The ones that sucked... the loudest ones. In fact, the better my system got, the worse they were sounding. "Where the heck is this crackle coming from? Is something wrong with my speakers?" Nope, it was just clipping distortion. So I sold my heavily compressed cds (except the odd ones where I REALLY liked the music) and have drastically reduced my new music purchases.

Conclusion: My system is just fine, the Loudness War is the problem.
