Yep-their greatest hits album is probably the easiest for me to leave on in the background without needing to change songs because of some glaring weakness in the recording...same with Brothers in Arms. Street Spirit is just purely mesmerizing on the Senns though-my fave song by far to show of their sound staging and brilliant treble and atmosphere. Brilliant stuff.

Even with loads of dynamic compression, Nigel Godrich still managed to produce an excellent sounding album.

Edit: Does anyone know how to get a copy of the uncompressed stems?

what do you mean - the album is compressed? why would they do that, you would think they would try and have the best possible sound, especially with all the money they can afford to spend. it does not sound compressed to me.

is compression necessarily a bad thing?

Hello happy HD800 owners!
 
IS anyone know Antique sould lab MG head Tube amp ? it seems it's a quite old OTL tube amp but maybe someone tried this amp with a HD800 ? 
 
Precisely that model with OTL/transformer outputs:
 

 
 
 
I found a used one as a decent price (140€) near my home here in France and I'm seriously considering to associate this amp and my HD800.
