IMO This track is poorly mastered. Whilst it has good dynamic range, it is at least 18dB under-recorded (or, at least, the level of the final master is 18dB too low). This degrades SNR and also ironically means that the dynamic range is less than it should be. The idea is to get the peaks within 3-6dB of full range, not to woefully under-record things! This isn't a quite passage in a classical work. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
