Majority of reissues by Classic Records, Analog Productions, CISCO, Speakers Corners, etc.. are absolutely better than the originals! There are a few exceptions, but that's exactly what they are: "exceptions"! We should all be glad and thankful these people are taking the risk, the time and money to revive these analog treasures for our listening pleasure. Let's give them our full support instead of whining and nitpicking trivial stuff! BTW, S&P's Songbird reissue is exceptional in everyway! A definite "Must-have"!
?'s about quality of audiophile recordings
I have a fairly "hi-end" resolving system comprised of Maggie 1.6, McCormack amp, etc., and I often do NOT hear the benefits of Mo-Fi, AcousTech, and such remastered reissued recordings. I am talking both LP and CD. My source components are Jolida Cd player and Well Tempered turntable. Preamps are EAR 834p and a hot rodded passive.
I recently purchased some of these audiophile remasters and compared them to my stock recordings. Call me crazy, but the stock recording sounds better. Typically the audiophile remasters sound thin, recessed, and veiled.
Any thoughts to the why? Have I fallen victim to marketing hype, the always "New and improved"?
