I have a question concerning the release date of CD's. If, say, a CD was released in 1994 and you purchase it in a store, is that exact copy from 1994 or has it been manufactured in say, 2006 and have been tampered with (dynamic range decreased due to "Loudness Wars"? And if so, is there any discernible difference between a CD that was released back in it's original time and today? I know that one way to tell is that remastered=bad, but its hard to believe that any cd released over 10 years ago still has its original copies on its shelves. How would I be able to tell if the CD really was an original relased copy? Thanks!
