Taming edge from remastered CDs?


It seems a common trait in my system that re-mastered CDs have better resolution and spatial information (e.g., 2003 Rhino "Fragile" by Yes) but seem sort of edgy and a little hard sounding. No such problem w/regular CDs or vinyl. I've been thinking about an equalizer to use for listening to only such recordings. Just tame the upper frequencies a little. Any suggestions? System is Cyber 800SE monoblocks, Consonance Ref 50 Preamp, David Schulte mod'd. Denon 2910, KAB mod'd Technics w/Heed Quasar Phono-pre. Acoustic treatments in use. Again, issue is with a minor segment of the listening I do.

Ive never heard a Rhino recording of anything I liked. I think those guys have wax in their ears.

I have a Rhino re-issue of Mark Almond Band's cuts from the first album and it sound like trash compared to the original German LINE label recording.

Jitter be dammned. Its the recording. And I am not sure how re-burning a crappy recording makes it better.
