No that is not at all what you said

Why do I bother wasting my time? Oh, well.

Specifically what you said was: I've heard this from people what cut the CD's. Improper use of case and apostrophe yours.

So what is this? Let's revisit Klaus' comments, shall we?

What had happened was that recording companies were rushing to get CDs to the market. So what did they do: they used the mastertapes that they possessed, which were intended to be used for vinyl. In those days they applied HF boost (brighter microphones, corrective feedback) in order to compensate for the HF losses that inevitably occured in the processing of the recorded signal. The result of that post-processing was the so called EQ-ed master, approved by the artist. On vinyl that HF boost had disappeared, on CD, of course, IT HAD NOT. That boost was responsible for the edged, harsh, or whatever you call it, sound.

Read it again. There is *no* qualification like you just added "caused in part".

I'll continue to be amused by Klaus' conclusion. And sentence him to life listening to my dreadful sounding first generation Magnavox CDP with or without a treble control.

ps: For gosh sakes, it you continue to be a Rhett Butler wannabe, at least use the correct Southernism (I've lived in the South most of my life). "Y'all" is the second person plural reference.
