I should have known better

On a foolish impulsive moment I downloaded ZepIII from Qobuz and frankly it is sh....t.
I know Page did the remastering and all that but honestly it is a dismal effort and I can't believe it sounds as bad as it does. It sounds like an old recording and has no life at all.

Just to see if my ears were playing tricks I got out my Japanese release, the replica vinyl covers and all, and they are dynamic as hell, clear, amazing depth, a little hot maybe but my god they just sound like they should. I've been air drumming and guitaring for the last hour.

I have the classic vinyl box set but still don't want to play them until I get a really good deck to do them justice.

The only reason to buy hires is if it was recorded in hires like 2L and Blue Coast records do.
CD, perfect sound forever maybe just true with many new releases.

Cheers
