I'm a little disappointed to be honest




I just picked up the cd/dvd version and have been comparing it to my original cd version. Dynamic range compression to me is like a gummy bear stuck to a theater screen. Once I see it, I can't help focus on it and it drives me nuts. That's how I feel about dynamic range compression. I found that the snare on the DVD-A version doesn't "POP" quite as much as it does on the original cd. Some people mentioned that the bass is a little tighter... possibly. I think it's a trade off with the compression personally. If compression doesn't bother you, then you'll probably be completely happy with this release.

I took a screen shot of the waveforms so you can see the 2 of them. Original Tom Sawyer is on the top, 24/96 Tom Sawyer is on the bottom.
