What Are You Listening To?

Was listening to this (the proper, and only way to hear it (non-remastered and non-remixed)CD):
-
While I would agree the actual fidelity is better Charlie, like the remastered/remixed Beatles CD's (such as Rubber Soul) done by George Martin, the remixed Selling England By The Pound tonality (vocals and instruments) is completely wrong (NOT improved IMO) and the remixed imaging is definatley not as well done as the original mix.
I have said it a number of times, I have never heard a re-mixed album where the sound is as well done (let alone better) than the original mix. (Again, IMO).
Taken from a recent Audioholics reply regarding "Club Polk" and Polk speakers:
"I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion."
My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

Funny how you can look at a picture of a woman taken at any time in the past, and think "She's hot", but a picture of a guy in the same period makes you think, "Those sideburns (or whatever) look dorky."
