Does anyone else find that there is a great variation in the quality of their CDs? For example;
If you look at Mike Oldfield, Music of the Spheres, this seems to be very well recorded and mixed. All the instruments are clear and in a nice sized soundstage.
Whereas Goldfrapp, Seventh Tree has an amazing balance of the recording with all instrumentation clear and solid, BUT her voice is a bit too sibliant, just like someone turned up the treble to a plus 4. Not terrible, but just noticeable.
ABBA Gold, dreadful. Sounds compressed beyond belief with no bass to speak of.
Are these variations down to the production of the recording? Does everyone else notice such differences or is this the benefit of a revealing system?
While we are on the subject, do all 'best of' albums get pretty compressed and are you better off going for the original albums?
Last question, in light of this, what is your demo CD?
