I could happily never buy another new record again. I rarely buy expensive new audiophile pressings - most sound worse than the originals. They're so much better that I’ll sit through the rice crispies to have a more pure glimpse into the past. I bought an AAA jazz record last year and it was so devoid of life, it was unplayable.
I know. I sat in on a demo with Robin Wyatt and Chad Kassem and while they do great work, I preferred the originals. Even though noisier, there is a speed, focus, and blackness in the originals that is lost to a slight grey coloration.
