In Reply to: RE: But wouldn't the true dynamic range be the difference. . . posted by tweaker456 on April 26, 2021 at 09:53:24
Huh? I didn't say there were cassettes on the list. Why would there be cassettes on the list? Maybe you need to eat more fish.

"You didn't see any cassettes on this list?. That's gold, Jerry, gold!!"
You can call me Ray, you can call me Jay, you can call me Johnson but never call me Jerry.
Long live the cassette.

Just to follow up, cassettes don't appear on the list for the same reason 78s and 45s and 8 tracks don't. It's because the raison d'etre for the database is to show how overly aggressive dynamic range compression affected the media that are still around in 2021. As I pointed out earlier cassettes predate Loudness Wars. So they are not included. It's also why the dynamic range of cassettes is greater than many LPs and CDs, you know, the ones that got overly compressed. The production of cassettes terminated about the time the Loudness Wars started. At their peak cassette technology was very advanced in terms of tape quality and build quality as well as how they were mastered, often digitally during 90s. And they sound fabulous, none of the digitalis we associate with CDs. And dynamic as all get out!
