On a more serious note, i have a high end audio system, both vinyl and cd and i have spent loads on remastered cds. I fell for the louder is better shite and bought remaster after remaster. I now realise my original early CDs with no messing about sound much better than new versions. Even top producers like Steven Wilson are now revisiting his own work from the 90s and noughties to remaster with less loudness and greater dynamic range. Loud (compressed) mastered cds tend to have a sweet spot for volume. They are not as crankable to higher volumes ironically without becoming too shrill or thumpy...
