    Remastered CD's

    Ever since listening to my two Remastered Bob Marley CD's, it's making it difficult to go back to anything else I have in my small collection, because of the bad reproduction. I don't know anything about "remastered" CD's, but I do know they sound better than anything I have. For instance, I...
