Dia dhuit Srajan (I think that's hello in Gaelic): I contacted Tony Minasian after reading your review of the Tonian Trio album. I ended up purchasing wav files of the two CDs you reviewed. You're spot on: both are extremely well recorded. Why don't the record companies employ his techniques so we can have non-compressed music? Cheers, Michael Ian Fanning
My question precisely. Without doubt, the CD format is capable of a lot more than we usually hear. If Tony can record to 16/44 with 50dB of dynamic range, so could others. Why don't they? Why do they tell us we need 24/96 (or more) whilst they compress the living daylights out of CD? Something doesn't add up. Srajan
