a sort of mellow bass fullness that doesn’t overwhelm, like a good late night male soft jazz radio DJ sounds, breathy deep warm tones in his voice - ambience like that is ‘warm’

I just try to use my ears and not make myself crazy.

I had a friend who was really stuck on DR and lossy/lossless, ‘the loudness wars’ etc

I took one of his hi-res flac files, 24/96 and converted it to mp3 VBR-0 16/44.1 and foobar2000’s DR meter gave it the exact same DR - so much for their DR meter and/or hi-res audio files
