This just in, from the lukpak.org discussion of the 2002 ABKCO DSD remasters,
QZ1) Are the new Stones discs a big and NOTICABLE improvement over the old ABKCO discs in sound quality?
AZ1) In general, yes, to a fairly large degree.
My comments: However, the Virgin Stones releases circa 1994 are better than the original ABKCO remasters, too. So, that’s not saying much. I don’t think any of the ABKCO DSD remasters are the same albums as the Virgin remasters. Any of the above are very good sounding in my humble opinion.
