I picked up the Stereo box set on Friday. I previously had Abbey Road, Sgt.Pepper's, and the white album cds from previous releases. I have listened to the old vs the new of these three, and for me there is no question at all that the new cds are far superior. There is much more information on them. The old releases are missing a lot of upper mid and high end in comparison (and are therefor lacking a lot of the fine background detail), and are also missing a lot of the detail in the bottom end and lower to mid midrange. In the new ones, you can clearly hear the bass (although a little tubby at times), and you can *very* clearly hear the drums, especiually the floor tom and kick drum. Rurns out that Starkey guy could actually play - who knew?
