In a fit of nostalgia, I purchased a Uriah Heep "Salisbury" CD (SMRCD049, made in the EU), as I thought it was a great record.
I am wondering why CDs with old music are manufactured in such a way that hearing them is a torture due to excessive and abnormal "digitalized" sibilance (sssss)! It seems that modern engineers/manufacturers are deaf and have bad taste and their only goal is to make CDs loud and dynamic at the expense of accurate reproduction of vocals.
I am going to give this CD back to the shop as defective.
I raised this issue before but it seems that this problem is not going to be cured.
