Over compression is horrible, but unrelated to this. I grew up with cassettes, but was happy to switch to CDs when I was around 18. The better the recording and playback, the close…

For me glycine helps amazingly. It's an amino acid that the brain needs during sleep. I take about 5 grams in water about an hour before I go to sleep. I'm not sure how much the gl…
