Dire Straits Brothers in Arms Comparison


If anybody is interested a buddy and I just did a detailed comparison with the original CD, remastered CD and LP of Dire Straits Brothers in Arms. The LP was first with blacker back ground, smoother mids and much better bass than the other two CDs. The original CD was second with smooth mids but lacked the bass. The remastered CD was way down the scale in comparison. I would not recommend the remastered version.

The XRCD is outstanding. The original CD is very close to the vinyl. The CD remasters are not good (hot or loud). You get don't get grain but due the extreme clarity it sounds a little unnatural (recorded in a dead environment). I mean you are hearing everything close miked.

If you want some outstanding natural recordings check out Mojo by Tom Petty.
