In case you haven't noticed, the downturn in CD sales has had one good aspect. CDs are not being mastered hyper compressed as much as they used to. People aren't ripping CDs any more, so they don't have to master CDs as if they are MP3s any more. They can master them as CDs again. A lot of the old releases from the era of the loudness wars are still in print, but new remasterings are much better lately.
