[78-L] Problem with very high energy incorporated into remastered 78s

Are you over 60 (I'm 66 and notice that the high notes are particularly
piercing) and is it better if you block one ear or the other? (blocking my
right ear helps)

Here you go.  These three happen to be acoustic, but there is the same
problem with electrical recordings.

Thanks./steve

I have occasionally found myself listening to some sound files of remastered
78s - mp3s and CDs - that seem to have incorporated some sort of very high
energy that is painful to my ears.  One friend (Friend #1) did a CD set
which I can only tolerate if I play it in one room and listen to it in
another room.  I presume sound of the energy gets absorbed in the playing
room.

Another friend (Friend #2) has started using a program called iZotope RX -
RX3 which produces very nice sound, but my ears can't tolerate the energy.

A third friend with sound experience, but not with remastering 78s, (Friend
#3) suggests that this problem arises from remastering programs' compression
of sound.  I hardly know anything about sound compression or sound
compression issues, but I do know that I listen to most recordings
comfortably, unremarkably, and with no issues, while some remastered 78s are
intolerable to my ears.

Can anyone explain what is going on and offer any advice and guidance I can
pass on to Friends #1 and #2?

Thanks./steve
