BS! I've got quite a few that exhibit virtually no dynamic range.
Yeah, baby those 7" 45s are really slammin'!

...Not to the same level that you can to CDs or music files
People seem to forget, or maybe even never knew, that a music signal is compressed/eq'd as it is etched into a vinyl groove. And for whatever it's worth I remember this conversation about loudness wars long before the CD era.
And maybe it's just me and the music I am buying, but I haven't noticed newer music being worse sounding than ever. Quality/character has always been a crapshoot.
Now I admit FM rock radio broadcasts sound much worse as do mp3s. But I listen to very little FM and only get compressed resolution when watching music videos. But the stuff I buy or download sounds as good, or even better, than the stuff I was buying 40 years ago. Maybe I'm a more skilled buyer and/or maybe I've got better gear.
And of course there's a whole industry (audiophile recordings now hi-rez) being sustained by this ongoing debate.
Give me rhythm or give me death!
