"Back in the 1960s, I bought every Dylan record . . but all his records sound opaque, annoyingly hard, and overly compressed. Every time I listen to Dylan, I ask myself, Why must they sound like this? I felt this way until I heard Zimmy in MQA via the Mytek Brooklyn: The clarity, suppleness, and transparency were so unbelievable . . "
In fact, as can be observed in the dynamic range database, almost all of Bob Dylan’s recordings - but especially the early ones - are surprising high in dynamic range, I.e., high in the GREEN numbers, with few exceptions. And if I may be so bold his early recordings were the model of naturalness and clarity. So I have no idea what the author of the statement above was smoking.
