    Mmm... interesting. Could this be why Heaven 17's Penthouse and Pavement sounds so shite...? Mine is so toppy and shrill. Maybe, maybe not.

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    It could well be. Without de-emphasis they would certainly sound toppy unless you had speakers with a lot of HF roll-off.

    If they always sounded like that even back in the 1980s or 1990s when you were almost certainly using players with compensation, then that's probably what they were meant to sound like.

    Or you're like me and too old to hear higher frequencies properly and hence won't care.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
