Cd's that are 20 or 24bit tend to be much louder when compared with a 16bit cd, at the same setting on you're
reciever. This is the best way to tell "unmarked"cd's
mastering. Some are not totally re-mastered, just made on
20 or 24bit equipment.

I wouldn't make such a generalization, as loudness has nothing really to do with the resolution of the disc. In general, pop and rock CDs are mastered at a much louder level than classical and jazz, whether they used a 16-bit or 20-bit process.

I'm not, all the levels are up on remasters of any music type, [aad, add,discs,] this makes them "louder".Anyone with an eq.,
that has a spectrum analizer will see the levels higher on 20,24bit re-masters. [I had an eq. with my old system.]

Just to add my .02 cents worth on this topic.
2 thoughts:
1. The person who is leading a remastering project for an album has a tremendous amount to do with how it turns out. I'm not trying to discount compression/bit rates etc... But, when you hear some of the old Zeppelin stuff remastered by Jimmy Page, you understand that that guy has a set of ears on him. Houses of the Holy re-mastered -- Oooh Aaah.
2. I think the recording studios that were used for the original tapes has a lot to do with how the CDs sound. I think the 70s introduced a lot of new concepts in studios that were just flat out wrong. Consequently, there is a lot of bad stuff that know matter how they try to remaster sounds like junk. ESPECIALLY on good speakers like Axioms.
Latest CD that was awesome on the Axioms, Chicago II, tracks: AM Morning, PM Morning, Memories of Love. The French horn jumps to life on the Axioms.
