Lucky me. I love the digital age.

Digital media has definitely more range and depth than analog media.
Problem was with sound "coloring" i think.
Every media or sound system has its sound properties while the target is to output sound naturally-depends on quality of audio system....

With early CDs they just took the old recordings and simply copied them on to cds which not always gave good results.
Thats why later on came the remastered versions.
