It really depends on what you prefer. Steve Hoffman gives you the clarity of hearing the instruments as they were recorded, while the original releases have that familiar punch we've all come to love.
While I thoroughly love those original releases, listening to Audio Fidelity is a truly amazing experience.
Most Steve Hoffman remasters are the same and generally have a low level so there is no chance of clipping.
I look at it this way. I've thoroughly loved those original releases and always will, but now I'm ready to hear everything as recorded and marvel at the pristine sound.
