Now it has only shabby and low dynamic-ranged sound. It has lost the original fresh beauty. Why? I had a completely opposite listening experience; to me the remastered version sounds infinitely better than the GG Edition, which is both harsh and unduly compressed. It's amazing how differently people hear the same things. Howard |
