This is a well known problem. What is recorded on the CDs is not the full range of frequencies which are on a vinyl. When this was realised, some "fiddling" was done to try and cover up this discrepancy but I am afraid I don't recall what this was, sorry :-( .
???? What have you been smoking while listening to vinyl? CDs have much better frequency response and dynamic range than vinyl. CDs have a frequency range from DC up to almost 22 KHz, which is greater than human hearing. A good vinyl recording maxes out at about 70 dB or so dynamic range. A CD is 96 dB or about 400x the range of vinyl. On the other hand, many digital file formats, such as MP3, are missing bits. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
