For a while I was furious that Sony was releasing ancient recordings on SACD. I got burned buying a that, I don't recall all the details off the top of my head, was remastered from a 1952 mono recording. I failed to notice that as the time, as I made an impulsive purchase. The SACD "remaster" sounded like it was recorded through two tin cans and a piece of twine.
Contrast that with many of Deutsche Grammophone's new DVD-A recordings in the studio they built a couple of years ago that sound tremendous.
The lesson here, is if you buy your discs new at a store, patronize a record store that lets you listen first.
