I agree with both of the posts above. The Classic reissues have been criticized in the past for being less sweet or lush sounding than the originals, but they're just getting you closer to the master tape, IMO. They are quieter, more dynamic and have better bass than the originals, and to me that more than offsets the slight loss of some of the warmth of the originals. I like the DCC reissues as well, although I have noted on many of the ones I have from them that the tonal balance seems fuller, more tilted to the bass than the originals, which seem to have more treble energy. Anyone else notice this, or do I just have mediocre original pressings?
