How do you know if it can sound better?

The old Beatles albums I love purely for the music but I can see how they could be a reference. I was introduced to Chesky through his Stereo Review album, which is great as it gives a descriptive of what to listen for and talks about where and how it was recorded (which I think someone mentioned earlier was important if you are looking for reference). I then went on to listen to a lot of his recordings and was surprised at the difference good recording and mastering techniques had on what I was listening to. The Review album seems much harder to get these days, I have not found it on any streaming platforms.

Buy Chesky directly from their site chesky.com, seems they have pulled all content from streaming platforms. I get their news update mails occasionally.

I know that when it comes to dynamics and truly deep bas I can do better than what I have now. But it comes at a great cost.
Perhaps even lower distorsion also adds a form of calmness to the sound.
