In Reply to: Do gold CDs sound better than silver ones? posted by genungo on April 4, 2016 at 17:01:43:
Most, if not all of us, have been on the remaster merry-go-round for ages only to become let down by highly compressed junk. All I can say is that sound quality is mostly about the mastering, give or take a small percentage point regarding pressing plant variables.No amount of gold or silver will turn a sow's ear into a silk purse, at least in my experience. Same goes for SHM-CDs. SACD, DAD, DVD-A are also not immune to poor mastering. On the other hand, if a flat or eq'd mastering sounds good on CD and the same digital master is then used with other variations of the medium (gold, shm, blu spec, etc) they should also be par for the course. Many of the early MFSL compact discs, UDI, were flat transfers and sound marvelous, as do the DCC discs. They are gold yet in spite of that they were mastered well.
