"So what is a system 'capable of capturing dynamic range'? Is mine?"Can't say. Even if I knew what you had. (Most cartridges compress Telarc Soundstream recordings. The Transfiguration Temper Supreme is one that captures the Soundstream dynamics in effortless fashion.)
The lack of bass linearity and the limited dynamic envelope of many audio systems cannot handle the un-compressed Soundstream recordings. The symptoms are often "bombastic" dynamics with the loss of microdynamic gradations, loss of soundstage when the music gets loud, and especially "bloated" bass during bass drum and organ passages. (The last two symptoms often occur together.)
With a system that *is* capable of capturing the wide dynamic envelope, Soundstream recordings may sound "unspectacular"- You just hear the individual instruments, each with its own dynamic and tonal character. Consistent to how one hears music in the concert hall. And when things do get spectacular, one could actually sense the individual pulsations of the bass drum and even the *low* fundamental frequency of cymbals.
