Why do I keep torturing myself with remasters?


I am really beginning to believe these 180 remasters are mixed for a 500.00 system.It seems every one I buy it's either super bright,or has an ass load of bass in all the wrong places.The Bowie i have the soundstage is all wacked out .I have a decent setup but i can't imagine how much more obvious it must be on a serious setup.I can say the Yes fragile I got lately (cut fromt he original tapes) sounds pretty good ,Zeppelin In thru the outdoor Yikes! so bright waste of 25.00 again.....

I love the Beatles stereo re-masters.  And although I grew up with the original mixes I wish they had re-mixed the ones where the original multi-track tapes survived.  The re-mixed Yellow Submarine is amazing--the music really comes alive.  Maybe in another ten years they'll finally re-mix and try to squeeze a few more bucks out of us.
