On the one hand, I guess we can say that a crappy DoReMi transfer is better than nothing. But then again, when companies like Doremi put out their versions of historical recordings, it probably discourages others from going back to the source, doing a good transfer, and doing a legitimate reissue, which would inevitably cost more.The problem with Doremi transfers, in my experience, is not the source, but their atrocious use of filtering. Most of them sound as if somebody had thoroughly damped the treble. In the case of the SR Carnegie material, the original lps sounded fine--not great, but good enough. I would guess Doremi's "engineers" (and I do use the term loosely) were working with a third or fourth generation tape, and just turned down the treble knob to get rid of the hiss.
