Dynamic

Dynamic represents the ability to reproduce a wide range of sounds from the softest to the loudest.

 For the 8 editions Dynamic Range (DR) is as follow:

	Ed1 (vinyl Sony)	Ed2 (vinyl AP)	Ed3 (SACD AP)	Ed4 (SACD Japan)	Ed5 (CD)	Ed6 (CD collection)	Ed7 (BNF Stereo)	Ed8 (BNF Mono)
GLOBAL	DR14	DR15	DR14	DR13	DR13	DR15	DR13	DR13
1. Blue Rondo A La Turk	DR13	DR15	DR14	DR12	DR12	DR16	DR13	DR13
2. Strange Meadow Lark	DR15	DR15	DR15	DR14	DR14	DR15	DR13	DR13
3. Take Five	DR14	DR15	DR15	DR12	DR12	DR14	DR14	DR14
4. Three To Get Ready	DR13	DR15	DR14	DR13	DR13	DR14	DR12	DR13
5. Kathy’s Waltz	DR14	DR14	DR14	DR14	DR14	DR14	DR12	DR13
6. Everybody’s Jumpin’	DR14	DR16	DR15	DR14	DR14	DR15	DR13	DR12
7. Pick Up Sticks	DR14	DR15	DR14	DR14	DR14	DR14	DR12	DR12

The DRs vary globally from 13 to 15, which is a good dynamic. As a reminder, the scale goes from 0 to more than 20, but the dynamics are considered good from 12, quite good between 10 and 11, and deteriorate below 10.

A low DR deviation (1 or 2) may be due to compression or a different level in the treble.  Both versions with a DR of 13 show signal saturation (clipping).
