Since being Axiomized, I buy only re-masters of my favorite older cd's. For sure, the differences in program material can be astounding. On the other hand, I've found some pretty cool stuff going on in music I haven't dragged out in a long, long time.
I'm rarely disappointed in new recordings, remembering, that with all of the studio technology, they must have wanted it to sound like that or it wouldn't have made it to the final master.
All things cool are not created equal. 1/2 the fun is the search for things on the frostier side of cool.
