We are not on the same page. I am not intimidated by the measurements crowd.

I am not intimidated by the measurements crowd.
Yet you started off right at the beginning talking about the dynamic range of a CD and how it they sound compressed and noisy to you? I'm thinking this is more an issue of resolution than dynamic range but that noisy seems more than a big reach when comparing with cassettes which almost always were inundated with noise when I've heard them.
Everything sounds compressed because most of it is - otherwise it would be mostly worthless for most playback environments. Funny how that's only obvious to you on CDs.
But that's my subjective observation. Follow? That's kind of the whole point.
Yep I follow. Not an objectivist. More of a defensive contrarian pseudo scientist pretending to be a subjectivist. If I really liked cassettes would have been doing the comparison with LPs and resting the case on the similarities with the master tape as opposed to some rock sliding around on grooves cut into a slab of vinyl. Not trying to misconstrue a CDs dynamic range potential as evidence of whatever subjective point you were trying to make.
Cassettes are obviously a viable source for music and for those who want to use them for whatever purpose. I think its really cool when folks prefer them to LPs or CDs and could accept whatever reasoning subjective or objective on why provided, but even a simple "I think they sound better" would suffice. Funny how you start with the pseudo-science then revert into it's just my subjective opinion when asked about it. I thought there was an interesting conversation here (actually a couple of different ones), maybe with some who understood it chiming in, but I guess not.

You are overthinking it. I go strictly by the sound. Please note that in my world nothing is obvious.
