Rush albums sound quality

I've been a long time Rush fan and as time has passed I've been able to buy a better system.
The thing is that I've realizaed that even Rush remastered cd's soun very bad, poor instrument separation, Geddy's voice sounds bad, etc.

I know it's not my system because other cd's sound great, from Dream Theater to Miles Davis.

Any one agrees ?

I believe one Rush album is scheduled to be released in hi-rez this fall. I forget the web site, but it has extensive listings and reviews of DVD-A and SACD.

Gosh,no 'Moving Pictures' release?
I would be surprised if any remaster would sound as good as my 50 cent (non-audiophile) LP of 'Moving Pictures'As I mentioned above,it sounds incredible and easily is one of the better sounding LP's I have.
In fact,I use it as a reference and to show off my rig.:~) Tom Sawyer! YEAH!!

Ben you are right of course but Iwould simply hope something positive could be done to improve them to the level the music deserves.

hAVE TO SIDE WITH BEN...THE 20 BIT REMASTERS SOUND VERY GOOD...EASILY SURPASSING THE mfsl cd OF YEARS AGO...AND IN MY HUMBLE ESTIMATION...SURPASSING ALL BUT THE MOST PRISTINE ANALOG ON A VERY HI-END (2K) RIG WITH TUBE POWER...RUSH RULES...
