Why do I keep torturing myself with remasters?

I had a couple different eq in the early 90s .I spent too much time playing with it for every album .As for "if its all i can get" sure,but the originals arent usually that hard its the condition that is tricky.I have recently bought  10 remasters and generally flip right past them for an original after listening to them, even with a few pops.

I only get original pressings never get remasters.

If a simple remaster then I do not buy them usually. Now a REMIX I will buy as usually they are much better than the original, considering the mix technology then and now...A current remix can be more defined, especially if the remix pushes/retracts certain sounds to make the overall recording better.
ie the Genesis remixes by Nick Davis, the original issues are so veiled its almost unlistenable, he lifted the veil.

So it depends, but we need to understand the difference between REMASTER and REMIX.

I suffered through the same torture. Same results. So many great reviews but the reviews sounded much better then the albums. 

I have all the Nick Davis Genesis , can't remember which ones ,wind and wuthering, trick of the tail, selling england 180s etc .The trick i just got as original japaneese nm sounds great far better imo. The remixes by davis sound good they are very quiet which was never Genesis there early days they had very little money in there setups.I have not had good luck with the remastered 180 g "audiophile" vinyls.They just sound too digitized and usually very bass heavy.Almost every time i go back and grab the original in vg or better it smokes it,minus the obvious use on the lp.I have just started to go after any original or close,The pink floyds etc are just outrageous,300 up for a 77 wall etc.
