Elizabeth - Remasters are cleaner but not necessarily less dynamic. Noise or distortion can often make impression of more vivid sound (clean jazz guitar sounds less dynamic than distorted guitar).
Old CD dynamics vs Remastered?
Do you prefer old Compact Discs for the additional dynamic range, or new, remastered CDs for better clarity, though may use more compression?
I prefer to buy used old CDs and accept less fidelity to have more dynamic range.
I also actually prefer the earlier Cds as the remastered often destroy the 'reverb' to facilitate clarity.
(Of course the original LPs are always nice too.
