Hi All,

I recently put on Traveling Wilburys vol 3, after listening to vol 1, and the sound jumped out immediately as being horrifically bad. I was listening to the reissued box set edition, and the audio was just squished to hell.

I ordered the original CD, and just got it. The audio is so much better for being older and not so destroyed by the loudness wars.

I just thought I'd share in case there are any other Wilburys fans out there. The box set is great for the video, but is no replacement for the original CDs.

It's no wonder so many people hate CDs. It's not digital that sucks. It's the way limiters have been abused.

All the best!

Mike
