Listening to Now (In Surround) - Volume 2

[fredblue]

For the novice, what does this mean: "DR's are 11's, 12, 13's, 14, 15."

DR = Dynamic Range, expressed on a Scale of, say 1-20; with 1 being the worst or least dynamic/most dynamically compressed and 20 would be so dynamic you'd probably blow your amps and your mind in the process!

for Rock/Pop material around an 8-10 is desirable and 11-12 great, 13-15 is exceptional, although the amp will need a bit of cranking

Robert Fripp.
Washington Square Church.
July/August 1981.
Frippertronics performance.

Toyah would struggle to rock out to this one with him.

Edit... This is in DTS 4.1, but as the music was recorded on 2 tape recorders, I assume its an upmix??

2nd edit.... although the case says 4.1, the guitar is coming out of the centre.
...The plot thickens...
