Although this discussion is largely closed I just wanted to draw
attention to this show on R4 that investigates the whole "art" of

Stretching the OT just a bit further...
Its an interesting programme. But for some strange reason it seems to
overlook the cases where a recording may have been 'remastered' to bypass
flaws in the earlier 'versions'. ;-> You can see one or two examples of
what I mean at
http://www.audiomisc.co.uk/HFN/HealthCheck/CD.html
...and alas I've also found a recent BBC Music Magazine cover CD with such
flaws. So, alas, the game isn't over.

I'll only trust "remastering" if the people who do it define what their
source is, if its digital exactly what bitrate etc, what their mastering
chain is and more pertinently what they are trying to achieve by
remastering in the first place, and what if anything they have sought to
improve. Without that information debate is pointless.
Disclaimer : I have not heard the programme so I don't know whether
those sort of issues were raised.
