In Reply to: Some of the RVG's are remastered hot. posted by Sigmund on August 17, 2002 at 08:52:26:
I've come to the same conclusions as you have. The U.S. RVG series is a bit uneven in sound quality (especially the treble, where the cymbals sometimes seem to lash out at me). I generally prefer the smoother sound of the Japanese RVG discs in most cases to both the domestic RVG and the McMaster Connoisseur discs, although there are exceptions like a few of the Grant Green titles.It would be interesting to know the full story as to why the U.S. and Japanese RVG discs often times sound so different. From what I understand the mixes on the Japanese series are completely different than those for the U.S. releases due to contractual reasons, but are the sonic differences due to different mixing/mastering equipment, a different approach by RVG for the different markets, better CD mastering & production standards in Japan, etc.? I think I vaguely remember something from the BN BBS that RVG was simply acting on the preferences of his respective employer for each edition.
