Loreena McKinnet Remasters


Just picked up one of her new remasters (The Visit) and compared it to the original release. I don't know what to think. There's definitely a difference but I'm not sure iif it's an improvement. The remaster has more detail, a little more air on top but also seems slightly edgy and strident with more pronounced sibilants. I think I might prefer the original, smoother and more satisfying (sounds like a beer commercial). Anxious to hear others opinions on the newly available remasters. Doing a reality check on my system and my hearing.

Yep,got myself some dissapointing re-ma$ter$ as well.
Sounds like EQ boost was employed to add detail,another remaster shortcut? When will they respect the fans and not the money.This is assuming you have other recordings with this much high frequency energy that are not yeilding the extra sizzle or sib.
