I can't guarantee this though, but take it from me that my system shows up crappy recordings - i live with it
Lots of CDs etc recordings are distorted, it just takes time & money to find the offending articals
True. After I've Gatorized my Caiman, I've noticed that certain bass notes on the Les Nubians CD sound like my Maggies have been shredded to pieces. At first, my heart stopped, and I immediately pushed Pause. The bass on that track is extremely strong and loud, so my first thought was that the speakers got damaged.
Upon further examination, turns out that the distortion is on the original recording. I wasn't able to hear it before the upgrade, but this devilish little Gator plumbed the depths of the sound signal all the way down to the bitter end and unearthed that little ugly piece of sonic turd.
Shame on the engineers who recorded/mastered that CD with such terrible anomaly (but on the other hand, they don't care because they know that only a tiny portion of Nubians fans have sufficiently revealing hi fi to detect that faux pas)
Don't you just hate it when you cannot detect where the post ends and a signature line begins?
Alex.
