"Most pop and rock recordings made today are nearly 10 dB louder, and some even approach being square waves."
Fortunately I have scant interest in that genera. Unfortunately it has now largely ruined classical streaming radio with both MPR and KWAX compressing their signal all to pieces but in MPR's case still clipping on announcer voice peaks. To add insult to injury ABC (the Oz one) has reduced their data rate from 128K to 64K as the default and has very limited access to the old stream. Tried it the other day and it's worse than a good AM transmitter was in the 50's.
You know, in our callow youth we would joke about how the old folks would pine for the 'good old days'. Damn it, now I sound just the same! But it's too true and them thar good ol days were only a few years ago.
By the way, my old plate modulator had a lot better fidelity then most of today's stations...
