Interesting question, I was playing the Buzzcocks remastered 1st cd the other day and thought what a great time to take another listen to Stiff little fingers greatest hits.(older) The remastered stuff sounds much better in my opinion and can play louder with less digital harshness if you can call it such a thing
Old CD dynamics vs Remastered?
Do you prefer old Compact Discs for the additional dynamic range, or new, remastered CDs for better clarity, though may use more compression?
I prefer to buy used old CDs and accept less fidelity to have more dynamic range.
I also actually prefer the earlier Cds as the remastered often destroy the 'reverb' to facilitate clarity.
(Of course the original LPs are always nice too.
