I noticed it playing the Stereo set, particularly with the mid-era CDs. I didn't really think about it too much until noticing the lack of that artifact with the mono set.
Another thing about the Mono set is I noticed the "harmonic shadings" in such a way I recall hearing the Beatles as a child back in the 1960s. The song "Penny Lane" was a revelation (as was the whole MMT album), in regard to background instruments- I just noticed them more easily, the attacks and decays, and also a more acute "sense of tonic"......

1. The mid-era CD's - Help and Rubber Soul - are a disappointment in the stereo set as they are sourced not from the original tapes but from 16 bit 1987 digital files. They don't sound all that great, at least not up to the level of the others.
2. Some of the monos - Rubber Soul through White Album - are different mixes completely, which is why you are hearing them a lot differently.
No compression issue here. In one case, a shitty digital source, in the other, completely different mixes. You are comparing apples and oranges and trying to make sonic judgements from that.

I'm waiting to hear his comparison of the new remasters to the '87 CDs before I bring the hammer down. lol
