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.

I love Loreena but probably won't bother buying the re-mastered discs. On a good sounding, the original recordings sound phenomenally lush and smooth with just the right amount of attack and "roundness". I agree that some of these discs sound a tad "blurry" in terms of high frequency resolution, but with such a lovely voice and beautiful music, who cares??? Sean
