How many releases do you buy a year?

Given that this thread spiraled into a very entertaining discussion about fidelity, I thought I'd share this link.

The video is fine, but the article does a nice job of clarifying a lot of the points we discussed in this thread.

saw that video a while back. totally claims lossy compression as the devil then shows an example of dynamic range compression when they give a visual of the waveform. You'd think someone from Harmon could do better. I agree that lossy compression is shit but dynamic range compression is indeed shittier and has a much more dire need of action against it.

It is ironic. The very thing the artists in the video are railing against, is something that's within their power to change.
