I haven't heard it and hope I don't. I have the original I - Physical Graffiti CDs. I think they were mastered by Barry Diament, but I couldn't swear by that. They need to be turned up a bit, but sound great. I haven't cared much for any of the remasters, not even the ones supervised by Page.
But unfortunately I do have the Ultimate Who boxed set, and worse yet, Bruce Springsteen's "Magic." The sad part there is Magic has terrific songs on it and there is no old cd to hunt down to provide relief. It is what it is and it is almost un-listenable. The producer of that record should never be given an important project again.
I really dislike loud, harsh, glaring music. I love my cds and play them back on SS equipment without feeling the need to seek out additional warmth. But I have paid close attention and I know when to reach for the volume knob, the treble knob, or both. And sometimes, I just know that it should be played through phones in any kind of resolving system. YMMV, but Magic, as one example, is a disc I save for the car.
