Folks with large collections.....

When did you last reassess CD's which you had previously thought too glassy or etched to be enjoyable - great performances perhaps, but hard on the ear?

Well FWIW I was just browsing thru some old classical I was just keeping for reference and pulled out a Brahms Sym #1 with Horenstein Conducting, a Brahms PC 1 with Rubenstein, some Mozart Piano Sonatas by Uchida, all of which now sound great with my present equipment. These were all purchased over 15 years ago. Makes me think that a lot of the earlier digital may not have been all that bad, some was, and still is :-), but it looks like I got a new project. Best of all, its free!

Has anyone else experienced this?

What about the "remasters" many companies are doing now? I don't mean the off-label remasters, but rather the ones the major labels are doing themselves?

I have some of the remasters, but not the original discs, so I can't compare them. The remasters I have are still somewhat deficient, unfortunately.
