Why do I keep torturing myself with remasters?

Pink Floyd´s Japanese "Meddle" ( 2nd edition at least) smokes UK original in dynamics

I think it´s all just for the money. To sell those Pink Floyd masterpieces over and over and over again. Quality true analog reprints ? Who cares, buyer gets new pristine vinyl and cover, inserts etc. anyway, that makes him/her happy. To be honest, I do have one very high quality (audio) reprint, Yes´ "Fragile" by AcousTech, US 2006. Some Classic Records reissues (US) are great too.

I highly recommend original Japanese vinyl albums for those who truly are interested in quality, both audio and album covers.

Was the original sealed Boston a US or UK copy ? As for Japanese pressings, some do have overly bright sound, like The Outlaws´ "Playin´ to Win". My original US copy has warm and balanced analog sound.

Someone once said that the original Chrysalis Jethro Tull albums suffer more or less from bad pressing quality. I have a Pink Rim "Benefit" (ILPS 9123) it´s very nice no issues... Oh dear I must listen it right away...

Me too... Honestly, digital can´t surpass analog IMHO. So I´m not worrying. 

Sorry to hear your terrible loss :( Your bro is mad.

However, `hi-res´ files are really something else in today´s digital audio and worth to try. In fact one of the very famous and serious `professional´ audiophiles says that those files mops all analog audio in sound quality, including those priceless original pressings. That leads to conclusion: digital has finally surpassed analog ?

Removing unwanted signal is futile because to remove that extra signal needs digital processing and it always just lessens sound quality.
I personally don´t want any kind of digital processing to the original information. I´m not excited about analog either but can accept in certain cases.

You have dealt with a true gentleman. + you can fix the warped record easily. Buy a Vinyl Flat + Groovy Pouch.

:)

I have flattened tens of bad warped records now. My Vinyl Flat with Groovy Pouch can be taken from me only over my dead body.

Geoff, I´ll take that as a compliment :)
