I got the original ZZ Top - LaGrange without the echo on the opening drums. It is better.
I got the old and new versions of Kenny Rogers - The Gambler and the original is better, it sounds more real.
The remix of Gary Wright - Dream Weaver was a fucking disaster, but the song was not all that great to start with.
Some remixes are goo however, no doubt. When you got a DDD CD it is newer, and totally digital. It has never been analog. Then AAD is when they find original tapes but they are already mixed down to stereo. The only thing they can do is EQ and echo, and please no echo. An ADD disk is one where they got the original eight or sixteen track tape, and digitize all the tracks and remix them all in the digital domain, hopefully staying loyal to the original mix. So if you have a bunch of CDs,look at them, you might already have about the best remix you are going to have.
If they do this complex logic on the material I do not have alot of confidence in it being faithful to the original - i.e. the definition of high fidelity. That is also why these surround receivers are junk. They do not put out what was put in, instead there is all kinds of digital delay applied and all this shit. And I think all that shit sounds like shit. If I want a delay I'll, hmm I dunno. shoot myself.
