Post Subject: Re-mastering vs. Re-pressingPosted by Romy the Cat on: 1/31/2008
Thank you, Maarten. Might I ask you a question? From what you understood from the article: the “same recording” that they compare they were the same mastering or they were different mastering? The reason why I ask because the regular CDs were released might be 20-10-5 years ago. There is huge different between the CD pressing even of the same mastering. I know many CD that were released in 1990s that sounded OK and then were re-pressed in 2000s and sound horrible. Some of the newest CDs were not juts re-pressed but re-mastered. Some of the re-mastered CDs were very bad and some of them are much better then it was done in 80s-90s. Some Japanese are known for making mostly very good re-mastering and they general have better CD pressing then western competitors. So, my question was (to whoever knows) is the SHM-CD is just a new pressing (on better of different material) or it is a pressing of the newly re-mastered recordings? Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
