General audio topics that don't fit into specific categories.

See, that's where the big problem is

While the specified dynamic range for CD is way higher than cassette or LP, who would doubt that! - by around 20 dB or so - the *perceived* dynamic range is frequently actually a lot less!! 3 dB is double so 20 dB represents what? One hundred times more?!! Two orders of magnitude! Can my math really be right? LOL Am I the only one who finds off the shelf CDs thin-sounding, like papier mâché, lifeless and blah, like a cheap radio?
