Glad to see you're slowily coming around. It's a good thing to educate yourself. Gee, it seems like only yesterday you said, "you change the dynamic range by turning the volume knob." How times have changed.

By the way, time will tell if the Loudness Wars are really over. Talk is cheap. Taking a gander at the 2013 and later releases in terms of hyper agressive dynamic range compression the end of the Loudness War is some sort of pipe dream of Katz. At leastbitsbgood to see you, Michael, acknowledging that there IS such a thing as Loudness Wars and that hyper agressive compression is bad for the sound. You've come a long way baby. It's wasn't that long ago you dismissed dynamic range as just some audio parameter that wasn't all that important. Glad to see you come over to the A Team.
