The big deal is the big upgrade

Do you want "better than average" or exceptional sound? What they do in their mastering process is generally vastly superior than what was done with the original releases. Sure, a great sounding recording will still sound "better than average" even when cut from 3rd generation cutting tapes that have been EQed, compressed and rolled off at the frequency extremes. But they do tend to sound substantially better when they are given a careful audiophile treatment by expert mastering engineers who are doing their best to get the best sound possible on the record. As I said elsewhere for all the money most audiophiles pile on their hardware, many tend to neglect the obvious, easy and effective upgrade that comes with better source material.
