like a dentist drill has been added, you know, like as in rattling your brain dentist drill. If fact that you seem to think 'objective' data would be required in such a case only goes to show how truly messed up you are. What is it?, you equate audiophiles with pathological liars?
BTW, there a alot of not so old CDs that sound like hell as well, Alanis Morissette's (original, 1995) Jagged Little Pill for example, which although there's no dentist in residence, sounds like to was mixed for a boom box, i.e. it's nearly unbearably bright on a high definition system.
But you see that's not what I had in mind, I was thinking along the lines of recordings of classical or Jazz setting, you know the ones where there was an attempt to capture natural sound, that sort of thing.
I would have thought this would have been obvious, thus the reference to Telarc CDs makes sense, but I suppose like in most things you've just got to spell it all out for out the resident 'objective' types.

Actually, both claims have been made and both have been discussed in this thread.. Certainly some CDs sound bad, and there may be a number of reasons for them. However, I have lots of older CDs from Telarc, London, Denon, Nimbus, and others that sound just fine. London in particular seems to have known how to do reissues from the analog very well from the beginning.
However, the claim has also been made that the older CDPs sound bad compared to today's models. Well, I suppose some of them do, but many of the older players sound just fine even today as long as they are in proper working order.

    Mr. Kuller simply attempted ridicule, offering no evidence.
