No doubt, the new masters have more compression than older versions. My Barry Diament cd of LZI rates an 11 and the new version comes in at a 9. Nothing I would call abusive though, and all the waveforms look really good. Certainly no "flat top" waveforms that have become commonplace in the last 15 years.

Still, dynamic range is only one aspect. There are so many other positives about these masters that I can't dismiss them out of hand because of that. I don't find them tiresome at all. In fact if I want to hear I thru III these days, I will go for the new hires versions rather than my original vinyl. They have pretty much brought these albums back from the dead for me.

Thanks for pointing out your earlier waveform posts. I missed those before.
