I have yet to find on any digital format at whatever resolution you want any recording that comes anywhere close to the sheer dynamics of a Mercury Living Presence recording. Most modern albums streamed on Roon put me to sleep. Two minutes into a high res album, I start to yawn. Five minutes later, I dozing. Compressed junk.

On the other hand, play a Mercury Living Presence recording. Startling dynamics. You are in the living presence of a real orchestra! Here’s what I’m listening to now. Can’t any modern recording, I mean *any* modern recording touch this?
