I'd maybe agree if you're thinking like heavy AM radio
compression. Raising the level of the whole song with
compression means that the user would probably lower
his playback level. 2:1 compression to limit the
dynamic range to even 50 db will take care of it.
Happens all the time.That isn't what's happening with the Shine Ola, there
are some cd waxes and treatments that seem to soften
(and "un-digitize") the sound ... these may do this by
compression. Then, you'd be turning the volume
control down?If the cleaner disc lets you capture more of the
low-level bits that were masked before cleaning, you
won't have to try as hard to hear all the details.
Also, 0dBFS may seem to stick out from the
blacker/quieter noise floor. This may only noticeable
on a system that plays wide-range dynamic swings.If the laser can more easily read the disc, it's only
logical that it might retrieve more info than when the
mold-release or whatever made it more fuzzy and less
in focus.Fidelis Records and Diversity Records don't burn any
cd, be it the final product or a master, without
cleaning each disc with Shinola before burning. They
say that the final product is more open and
transparent. Anyone who's heard their SACDs and CDs
would probably think that they're not cleaning the
discs to get some compression.You may want to check out the Shinola, there are lots
of people that use it because it works, and is aafe to
use on cds.(Your mileage may vary?)
