Are the remastered 80s albums worth getting?

[Vic Flange]

Greetings one and all, first time poster here. I've been toying with the idea of buying the remastered versions of the 80s albums, and wondered what the general concensus was of them sound quality wise. Has a good job been done on the remastering? I've had the old CD versions of everything from Solid Pleasure to Flag for years, and certainly You Gotta Say Yes To Another Excess didn't survive the transition to CD very well. Any views or recommendations would be most welcome.

I would expect the remasters to be much better quality-wise, since back in the 80s the CD was new technology and audio engineers were still learning to work with them. Plus it doesn't escape our ears that Yello know how to deliver good sound quality, CD or not, so I imagine they would put some real effort into the remasters to update their older work.

hello Bjossi at representation everyone about music start up it there will be a vinyl cd( CD-R of CD-RW DWD-R DWD-RW DVD+R DVD+RW) and many other things on which it is possible to write down and compress the information but I never will exchange vinyl and simple CD quality of a sound live and I buy only firm disks yello for me it very important. And music I listen on lamp capacity amplifiers separately preliminary deck amplifiers only cd without everyones mp3 and a good player to vinyl of disks.

The new disk yello leaves in a format cd

Redbook audio covers more than what the human ear can perceive in terms of frequency range, the only true limit it has is dynamic noise range which is only ~96 dB. Vinyl does allow for much, much higher frequency range than 22.05 kHz but whether humans can perceive those extra frequency bands in some way (ears or not) is still a myth yet to be proved right or wrong.

If you want a faithful digital reproduction of vinyl recordings, DVD audio may be your best storage friend, up to 96 kHz frequency range and ~120 dB noise range. This is all just speculations but with fancy gear you should be able to get a perceivably identical reproduction of the vinyl recording. And you can use lossless codecs like flac for ripping DVD audio in full 192/24 quality, so no need to shuffle the DVDs around all the time.

Well, has anyone tried recording that sound with today's state of the art technology? I have no idea myself, but I do know that digital audio reproduction can reproduce any audio signal. If the reproduction is not (perceivably) accurate it is a limitation of the recording gear, the listening gear or the storage medium, not the mathematical model.

And as whom you work, can we will pass to a new theme on but technologies.
I work more than 20 years "Elektroniks Service the Center" on repair of audio of video of equipment and present quality of equipment speaks for itself and what sound there can be a conversation.
All that now let out so it MADE IN CHINA qualities not what only quantity

[Bjossi]

Heh, it is indeed the quality that matters, not the quantity. It is sad to see how the world has come to nowadays, everyone ripping their music CDs to 128k mp3 files and listening to them with their $8 headphones/speaker system. I do not understand how anyone can possibly appreciate music, especially Yello, when played at such dreadfully bad quality.
