Good thread. No doubt that there is a cash-grab aspect to this business. On the flipside, probably not a bad idea to have a modern back-up on file. I tend to collect 1st pressing CD and SACD discs. As above, some Remasters sound better while others do not. I do not mind a little tape hiss on those flat transfers from the 80's.
Yes, I do own many variations of the CD/SACD except MQA coded titles.
New is not always better.
Happy Listening!
