Hi Sam, YOU BETCHA!!!My opinion that the gold cd's sound much superior. The mastering process contributes more to the quality of sound than does the "gold" as MFSL has aluminum discs that sound awsome too. Anything mastered by mfsl, Bob Ludwig and Steve Hoffman will be execellent. Best of the best is Dream Seqence by Tangerine Dream on aluminum! vr/Mike
Original CD vs Remaster vs Gold Disc
Those sly record executives have discovered new ways to seperate us from our money....release digital remastered versions of rock/alt CDs that are 15-35 yrs old at full price $14.99. I have had mixed results with these, for instance David Bowie "Ziggy Stardust" analog CD was slightly bright and thin sounding, digital remaster is even brighter, more presence, I prefer analog CD. I have had better luck with HDCD remasters like Joni Mitchell "Court & Spark" superior in every way to analog CD, this is what we want! Has anyone compared Gold Disc (MoFi, DCC,Sony) to original CDs, is it worth the extra money @$20-30 per disc? What is the magnatude of improvement? Anyone else compared digital remasters to original CD?......regards Sam
