Talking about bad recordings, did anybody have a chance to listen to the new Beatles remastered release? That is a good example for my better gear making it worse for me to listen to music I would like if the recording would be better. I only listened to a view songs yet (there is about 260?). They have done a lot to these new releases, lifted the loundness, so that the loudest peaks are about -5 to -3 dB (on audacity), and changed a lot of other things, I can't even describe, but for example A hard days night old release (original 1 release about 7 ears ago) sounds a lot harsher, hurt my ears. The new release is warmer, the right channel is lower, on the whole the sound is, less " cluttered" or Ob-la di Ob-la da even sounds like a different recording, the high hats a far less pronounced, the clapping hands sound more real. This new, warmer? production will make me listen more to the old songs again, I am no Beatles fan, so many songs sound flat, shrill and "cheap" to me, good music, bad recording.....
