Thought you’d all like this tidbit - apparently there’s a recording studio mastering issue with the latest album release by Taylor Swift. Some knowledgeable audio professionals have stepped in to remove the anomaly and are reaching out to the producers.
Amazingly they have provided a temporary remaster. Incredible to see this level of QC and care and I thought you’d all be impressed.
Here’s a link to the sub / topic:
This is actually interesting. But this community is probably the most curmudgeonly group of older dudes who are going to be angry that anyone would bother playing Taylor Swift on good speakers.
I did actually listen to the new 1989 on my system the other day. I didn’t notice the upper frequency hum - I think I can still hear 15k - but I wasn’t really paying all that close of attention to the details to be honest.
The worst album I know of for this is Taking Back Sunday’s “Tell All Your Friends” - which has some extremely noticeable high frequency buzzing on one of the vocals mics and they just didn’t notch it out. I’m waiting for the day when I’ve lost so much high end that I can’t hear it anymore lol
