The entire Dire Straits oevre is a loudness war victim. While ripping my CD-collection, I've replaced *many* CD's with older versions; sold my own version, rebought an old version second hand (Amazon.co.uk Marketplace).
I've seen rips jump from a DR of 7-8 to a DR of 12-14.... from 'crap' to 'excellent'. And yes, such a difference can easily be heard; much more easily than a difference between 192 kbps and 320 kpbs mp3's.
