Oh yeah. I'd forgotten that 'net radio is generally louder and that
nearly all of today's CDs that you rip will have negative, not positive
ReplayGain.

You migth prefere the compresssed sound of spotify, a more correct
reproduction off the source migth not be to your liking ?
Also make sure that the replaygain feature is off.
Some very bad sounding modern pop recordings migth sound better by
being processed by spotify or some radiostation, that
flac using eac, Apple lossless using itunes etc.

I've experienced that Spotify does a lot of Dynamic compression, too.

Could be because Spotify is not replay-gained (no API support for it)
and your own rips are? Louder sometimes sounds better.

When it sounds bad what are you playing? - your own rips? - how exactly

Try listening to some higher bitrate Mp3, Ogg or AAC files through your
system. Some blind listening tests have shown some people to prefer Mp3
to lossless formats.

I've got the following system:

I've never entirely been happy with the s/q of my system. Recently, I

a lot of noise disappeared. The system sounded a lot less shrill a
