Jim Anderson did some nice mixes for sure. We may argue about a bit to much sibilance on Patricia Barbers new "Smash" album :) What Steve Hoffman does with his re-re-releases of old tapes is completely different. He makes money with serving the crowd of audiophools buying the same recording over and over again even if the best sounding version still sounds like shit against recordings that were done right from the beginning or with recent equipment, like ralphonj already mentioned. Also i remember reading about his practices back in the Gold DCC era he used tube equipment to give his releases a special touch. No wonder that people buying modern gear and castrate it with esoteric parts or speakers welcome this approach. I have to admit that some of these releases i had a chance to listen indeed sound good but have that slightly bleeching signature i don´t always like. But with that like with most other things these days you´ll find pro and contra on the internet today.
