In the classical world, it's still spotty. I did some comparisons between Lps and their corresponding CDs about 6-8 months ago (all analog material, obviously digitally remastered in the case of the CDs) and a few of the CDs sounded impressively close, but some others really didn't. One of the newer Phillips remasterings was very good. One of the newer EMIs I recall was disappointing.
Digital Remastering: Last 5 years.....
WHile HDCD,DVD-a, Sacd,etc. has failed in relation to mainstream appeal...the quality of conventional redbook reproduction has been gravely overlooked...especially in the remastering process which has improved greatly IMHO...examples being AC/DC,the Police,Marley,etc...anybody else feel the same?
