    Very 'digital' sounding, with lean, hyped attack and fake news...I mean fake detail? I have the MCA 2000 remaster 088 112 055-2, and it needs a really warm playback chain to sound decent.

    That's the one! 2000 master. My system is neutral and resolving enough to reveal exactly how nasty it is.

    All of my best CDs were stolen in a burglary in 2016 so I can't say the exact release. (Only had a fraction ripped to FLAC.) My 80s MCA sounded natural. It had a "plaid" back cover. (There are several MCA masterings from the 80s. Probably all more natural than the 2000.)

    Thanks, think I will look out for an original 80s master on ebay...

    Having ripped all my CDs lately, I had to replace a couple of genuinely un-rippable ones, and learned the hard way about looking out in case you accidentally buy sneaky modern "remastered" copies.

    I ended up hitting ebay to get specific editions issued in the 80s/90s before the brickwall compression and v-shaped EQ craze. You are not alone, Garns. It sucks the life out of the music.
