Currently, searching for the best version of Nutcracker just because the cersion I heard in a demo sounded better and higher fidelity than what I have. Not all remasters are bad. Some are better than the original. Guys, which version you prefer for the Nutcracker? just the track 3 only. https://www.classicalmpr.org/story/2014/12/10/best-nutcracker-recordings If a remaster consists just of a flat transfer at a higher resolution in the studio, and no processing beyond minor left to right volume adjustments or speed correction(just for tape wow), I *might* entertain it. But if they're going to through the pains of sourcing 'original master tapes', transfer them at 32/384 for production purposes, then EQ, compress, limit, and slam the sh!t out the final release, as I have evidenced in many major commercial remasters - they can keep it!

If your using the sound of vinyl as a reference to the sound of the original master your making a mistake. The tape presented to the vinyl producer has already been altered to accommodate the limits of the cutter head, and then many times again eq'd cause they are still having problems at the lathe. Bass is mono'd, both the very bottom and top are rolled off, more. If a flat transfer of the original master tape is available, that will get you closest to the artist stereo intent, re-masters are eq's to the engineers preference. You want to hear DSOTM as intended, get the SACD - BluRay Immersion Edition with the 4.0 and 5.1 multich files. 4 channel surround is how Pink Floyd always performed live whenever possible. I've seen them 3 times over the years, their final Division Bell tour in Chicago outdoors at Soldiers Field was incredible and the live surround setup and mixing the best I've ever heard. The playback of the BluRay on my 5.2.4 multich rig here is awesome! That's Pink Floyd. https://resoundsound.com/mixing-for-vinyl-dont-fall-for-these-traps/ https://www.gottagrooverecords.com/vinyl-mastering/ Ralf11, Teresa and STC 2 1 "The gullibility of audiophiles is what astonishes me the most, even after all these years.
