Mobile Fidelity VS Re-mastered

Ive been buying cds now for 20 years. As you all know there were some pretty muddy conversions done when moving the older music to the Cd format. That was one of the reasons, i beleive, that mobile fidelity existed. Now there are more and more re-mastered issues of those older releases. I have several mobile fidelities and re-mastered disks. No titles on both.
I'd like to hear how about peoples experience comparing mobile fidelity release to a re-mastered..in general.
What promted this is to get either a remastered of Bridge of Sighs or a MF. The spread in cost is huge...worth it????

Ive had MF Lps of DSOM, Crime of the Century and a few others in the past and did find the quality of them was better.

I've found the same equalisation problems that Nrchy has founds as well. Jow Walsh Barnstorm on MFSL CD is one where the bass seems overstated. A few other MFSls I have are just fine in that respect.

The remastereds dont have the EQ problem(Duke, Bat out of hell, transformer, security, machine head) and sound much clearer than the original cd releases such as US by P.G. which sounds just awful.

Anyways thanks for all the feedback. Will save me tons of dough as the MFSLs I have to import but the re-mastereds are available locally.
