   Indeed they do and it's not incompetence, it's marketing pressure......'Loud   
   is good' and all that bollox.   
   The majority of people that buy digital music formats play it as background   
   music or in cars or on Ipods etc. so dynamic range is wasted on them.   
   The majority of people that still buy vinyl, sit down and listen to it.   
   Yes CD could be much better than vinyl but in reallity because of the   
   mastering, it's not.
