Place Norah Jone's 'Feels Like Home' and Ricki Lee Jones 'It's Like This' in your CD changer and press shuffle all discs. Set the volume where you normally listen to most CD's and press play. Ricki Lee will fill the room with music which is loud only on crescendo's but soft passages are soft. Norah, OTOH goes from LOUD to WAYTOOLOUD!!!! Compression is why those stupid little speakers sell. There are no dynamics in most commercial recordings so no ability to handle them is needed. And why is that? Because at home the masses listen to TV. Where do they listen to music? In their cars.
