I have a remastered RVG Blue Note Kenny Burrell "Midnight Blue" CD & I think that it sounds really very good. The tube mic hiss overtakes what should be a dead quiet spot but that's what tube mics did when there was so much gain in the system! I don't mind it at all, as I feel that the remastering job is trying to reproduce what was on those master tapes to begin with.
How are the blue note RVG CD's?
After seeing a recent thread about the pricey used Blue Note LP's, esp. japanese pressings, what are your opinions of the sound quality of the recently re-mastered by Rudy Van Gelder editions, done I think in 1999-2002 or so, on a 24 bit system. I bought a bunch for around $12.99 each, and on my Rega Jupiter 2000 think they sound pretty darned good. Anyone else?
