My pleasure.

Yes, to clarify, to BEST of my knowledge, NO SACDs exist with Wilson's remixes. They area all based on Ludwig's 24/96 remasters. See the link below. Perhaps I missed something.

Shameful really. To..upsample PCM and charge a fortune. What a crock.

Well to clarify mastering/remastering..(I coordinate reissue products for a living..)

REMASTERING..to me..is a new digital capture of analog master tape, and then tasteful polishing, repairing applied.

If it is a digital source, then one can take advantage of better converters and powerful DAWs to extract maximum fidelity..in almost all cases I am fan of staying in the box if the source is digital.

In the "old days", mastering is a bit of what you describe, it was more of a straight engineering job..but it changed and we started to see the rise of "celebrity" mastering engineers who maybe put more on of their stamp on a recording then was previously acceptable.

To me, the mastering stage should be where a good, experienced pair of ears makes sure everything is in order, with maximum fidelity. The final production master should not be totally a different product then was submitted. Just my take.
