Remastering

[james.miller]

that's not true either. that implies that the original was correct to begin with lol

The reason it sounded better is because it was louder. It's a well known fact amongst audio engineers that louder sounds sound better.

Your volume knob is probably in the same place, so the CD that's been mastered louder will sound (to your ears) richer and more detailed. You can get (arguably) the same effect by just turning your speakers up!

Four years is an awful long time for them just to turn up the volume knob..

if you'd read the review of the beatles remasters (or heard the albums) then you'd know that wasnt the case.

I've not read the review, no. I would be interested to however - have you got a link?
