True that american CDs sound better than english?

Reply #25 –
This thread made me curious, so I got out my first CD from 1984 (which I bought before I could afford a player -- I just knew I'd get one eventually).  Looks great, sounds great.  It's quiet though, I bet it would ReplayGain at +10.  Pressed in Japan.

Glad you've finally answered my question...
In the past I analyzed some of my father's classical CDs; I was originally expecting clipression like on pop CDs. I was surprised that all of them seemed to be really quiet and well-mastered. Many of them had a "DDD" label (the newer ones, too). Sad to say this doesn't apply to all music CDs.

I've already copied 20 years old CDs without any problem. Handle your CDs with care, and they will provide a human lifetime of listening enyoment (if the CD is well-mastered, of course).
I know that I know nothing. But how can I then know that ?
