I was listening to some old Rock records the other day and thought that they didn't sound as full as I had remembered... thinking back on it I realized that way back when I always had an integrated amp or receiver with a loudness contour, and I almost always had it engaged.
This got me thinking...How many out there listen with equipment sporting a Loudness Contour? And how many of you have it engaged?
Now a corollary... how many listen to Surround AVRs as their primary music system? As far as I know, no AVRs have such a feature. I suppose there are a number of younger members who don't even know what a Loudness compensation circuit does or it's intended purpose.
