| Why do I keep torturing myself with remasters? hdm- yep, the RE-1 is an Artisan, the RE-2 looks like a Winchester. The labels are a bit different too--no Warner in a bubble on the inner rim of the label circumference writing of the RE-1, which also has the words 'STEREO' in block print at 6 o'... | |
| Why do I keep torturing myself with remasters? dgarretson: I think you'll be hard-pressed to make any meaningful distinctions without very specific information about the particular copies involved. A "reissue" could mean a remaster, but leaving that aside, it also includes different lacquers, ... | |
| Why do I keep torturing myself with remasters? ghost- you can listen to the James Gang on 8 track player and it’s all good. Those albums with Joe W. were great- I play them as often as I play anything. They rock. | |
| Why do I keep torturing myself with remasters? I tend toward original pressings --whatever that means re country, place of mastering, pressing, etc, at least as a reference point. But, some of these are extremely pricey, 4 figures sometimes. A good remaster serves a purpose. If you listen to p... | |
| Why do I keep torturing myself with remasters? Norman- have you heard the old Horzu Die Beatles -2? It is a hoot, very spare, hard panned left and right, no additional effects. I don't have original Parlophones to compare, but I thought the mono box on vinyl was good. | |
| JBL Everest DD67000 vs. Avantgarde Duo Mezzo I think Ralph is being modest - he IS atmasphere. | |
| Why do I keep torturing myself with remasters? Ole- it is this one: https://www.discogs.com/David-Bowie-The-Man-Who-Sold-The-World/release/5806133I have not compared all the notable pressings, but this one punches, is not murky or strident. It is crank-able. I don’t think the one listed for $6... | |
| Why do I keep torturing myself with remasters? oleschool- i found an early japanese pressing that sounds good. The early UK one is big money, and the US one - my understanding is, it's more about the cover. I can check my deadwax on the pressing I like if you want. It wasn't that costly compar... | |
| Why do I keep torturing myself with remasters? Which Bowie? | |
| JBL Everest DD67000 vs. Avantgarde Duo Mezzo "Go by your ears; not what’s recommended by [a magazine].’"This is a step toward wisdom as opposed to "knowledge." | |
| Allman Brothers at Fillmore East, which one? astro- not to belabor this, because i think at this point you are trying to take me to task for something, but the issues you present are:1. What does the Classic remaster of this record sound like, compared to an earlier pressing, in particular a... | |
| Allman Brothers at Fillmore East, which one? Astro- Happy to go back and make the comparison anew. It’s just not something I can do instantly.PS: my system hasn’t changed that much since I made that comparison, same amps, speakers, table,cables, same brand/model of phono cartridge- just the ... | |
| Allman Brothers at Fillmore East, which one? Astro - no disrespect intended to you by my use of the word "hi-fi" to describe the Classic. Yes, I am basing what I said on memory, but heard over my own system at the time with the copies to hand. I did, in fairness, acknowledge that some of thi... | |
| Allman Brothers at Fillmore East, which one? Astro- I have the Classic remaster as well as an early pink label Capricorn that I compared quite a while ago. My recollection is that the Classic has more "hi-fi" attributes- detail and more open in the midrange, as you mentioned, but that the ea... | |
| What in the world is going on..... fjn- if it is the MoFi re-do of Big Pink, try turning up the volume. That record was cut with really low gain. There are a few threads on this on the Hoffman board. I have a copy, but haven't played it in some time. |
