Why do I keep torturing myself with remasters?


I am really beginning to believe these 180 remasters are mixed for a 500.00 system.It seems every one I buy it's either super bright,or has an ass load of bass in all the wrong places.The Bowie i have the soundstage is all wacked out .I have a decent setup but i can't imagine how much more obvious it must be on a serious setup.I can say the Yes fragile I got lately (cut fromt he original tapes) sounds pretty good ,Zeppelin In thru the outdoor Yikes! so bright waste of 25.00 again.....

Here's ONE reason...

Gregg Allman  "Laid Back"  (APO)

I can guarantee you'll not hear this lp in better form than on this (re-issue)!
I remember a long lost phrase, "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen."
The cost of original pressings are outrageous. There are some that are quite good. Why do we do this at all????

For me, it is this is what I love.
Here's a couple more I really enjoy:

The Litter "Distortions"
Richie Havens "Mixed Bag"

Sundazed mono (lp)
