Why do I keep torturing myself with remasters?


I am really beginning to believe these 180 remasters are mixed for a 500.00 system.It seems every one I buy it's either super bright,or has an ass load of bass in all the wrong places.The Bowie i have the soundstage is all wacked out .I have a decent setup but i can't imagine how much more obvious it must be on a serious setup.I can say the Yes fragile I got lately (cut fromt he original tapes) sounds pretty good ,Zeppelin In thru the outdoor Yikes! so bright waste of 25.00 again.....

I think it´s all just for the money. To sell those Pink Floyd masterpieces over and over and over again. Quality true analog reprints ? Who cares, buyer gets new pristine vinyl and cover, inserts etc. anyway, that makes him/her happy. To be honest, I do have one very high quality (audio) reprint, Yes´ "Fragile" by AcousTech, US 2006. Some Classic Records reissues (US) are great too.

I highly recommend original Japanese vinyl albums for those who truly are interested in quality, both audio and album covers.
I am all about the japanese vinyl ,its my go to if i have a choice .I just peeled open a original 1st sealed Boston  album sounded good but i felt it was overlery bright.Popped in my original mac rumours with a few pops and that bad boy is recorded well .
It's rare that I comment on bad quality of new pressings....I don't really have any. I did notice warp on the recent issue of Peter Gabriel US, but really has no effect on the sound quality. 
What reissue has excessive bass?
      There are many ,some of which we have spoken about earlier in the thread.I steer clear of reissues if possible and go japanese press if possible. If i want zip and pow i can play a cd ,i want open and natural anolgue sound. Some of these sound like i pushed an imaginary loudness button and pushed my speakers about a foot apart.lol
Was the original sealed Boston a US or UK copy ? As for Japanese pressings, some do have overly bright sound, like The Outlaws´ "Playin´ to Win". My original US copy has warm and balanced analog sound.
