    there's a noteworthy lack of... dynamic range that classical really needs.

Side question, will the loudness wars ever end?

Side side note, an ex was genuinely amazed at the sound a piano actually makes hearing me play on a grand piano--sympathetic resonance and all that. It's such a shame that so many people these days know nothing but shit audio fidelity and shitty compression--why?? Has technology truly regressed (not even talking vinyl--let's say the shift from CD to iTunes to Spotify) or are people just drawn to the least expensive thing and that's the driving factor?

And yeah I have Tidal but look at the subscriber comparisons between them and Spotify...
