Re: John Quinn Listerning Room
I hadn't expected such interesting replies. This conundrum only happens for me when a much-loved recording gets a purported remastering. So I purchase it, and it's often not even an improvement - it can get too bright and brittle or too bass-heavy whatever. The War Requiem and the Solti Ring are two that deserve care and like Mr Hutchinson said, there is no excuse for not going back to the master tapes. Apparently, and from what I have heard, these two examples are great successes.The Decca Turandot remastering, on the other hand, in 2014, was not. I don't care about the hi-res so much as the correction of distortion, bad editing, bad balancing, etc. Thank you all.
