Emile, the two Tidal masters we most struggled w yesterday, indeed the only ones that really were a problem compared to the higher fidelity recordings which the Extreme excelled on, were Genesis "Wind And Wuthering", tr. 2 "One For The Vine", and Rush "Moving Pictures", tr. 3 "YYZ".
But any track on either of these albums would demonstrate the issue.
If you could listen to them, and report on your personal take. My strong guess is it's a mastering issue, some albums are butchered, or deliberately tipped-up. The Extreme seems to absolutely highlight this, and despite the detail unearthed, it almost feels like there's a watermark imprinted on the music.
The vinyl versions, and tbh also the original cd versions, are way warmer, more textured, while maintaining a lot of low level detail.
This stratifying of good/stellar and average/failing presentations is apparent on uber level tts too, but there is way more "leniency" shown. Extreme is a tough mistress Lol.
