Still it is a redbook cd - i guess the 'normal' cd will sound exactly the same...

I'm not going to argue with you, but you really should listen carefully to the Brothers in Arms 1985 WG Vertigo disc and later versions, including SACD and reissued versions. Maybe you find big differences. 

remastered Led Zeppelin I, II and III.

I did not found the time to compare them to the original records but they sound excellent in my view !!!!

Very nice moment.

No need for arguing at all - at least not in this thread 😐

With the effort they had with the recording, and the fact that nothing was after-processed, no artificial reverberation, no equalizing, the sound must be very good.

It is amazing what we could have with Redbook standard CD's, if the industry would only let us.

In fact I got interested and curious too.

But this is the kind of stuff, that you don't find by WiMP HiFi (or Spotify).

I looked it up on Amazon and co - but did only find those ridiculous high priced CD's (the XRCD's), and gave it up.

In stead I popped in my Albert Lee/Tearing it up - Blu Ray Disc.

They did an amazing job at AIX-records recording and mastering this.

And the music - if you like that sort of music - is splendid.

Just got a new replacement gumstick battery for my old Sony mz NF810 minidisc one of the last recorders before hi md came out in 2003.

The sound compared to downloaded mp3 files and so forth is pretty awesome.

I prefer this instead of using my latest Sony Ericsson Xperia Z2.

At home a Beolink 1000 does the trick well enough. No need for downloading any thing.

What is a rebook CD? I've never heard of that term before.

@ Friedmett, I always loved the technology of MD, I also love the new hi def walkman :-)

A link is always easier than all the blabla 😁 link and 

Dark Side of the Moon because I'm definitely not high right now. 

I have not been definitely not high in many a year.

Damn kids.

Anyway, looking forward to my reissue of Led Zeppelin I LP coming in the mail.  In the meantime, listening to Traffic's Mr. Fantasy.  Probably segue straight into The Low Spark of High Healed Boys afterward.

Listening to the Black Keys Turn Blue right now, just picked up the LP sounds great so far, a little disappointed they spent the money on including a CD instead of opting for 180 gram and just a download code (a CD is useless for me, I don't have a CD player, nor a CD slot on my laptop). Great album though, reminds me a little bit of broken bells latest. 

I was lucky enough to "borrow" all of my parents old original zeppelin albums, I have a pretty pristine copy of I myself. Is the reissue a remaster or just a repressing? 

they are remastered supervised by Jimmy Page who found the first CD's dull... (maybe marketing). I bought the new cd's to compare them with original records (I have them too ;)) but did not found the time yet. 

That would be a good idea to compare original and new records too (to see if this remastering is real or just marketing...).

In my personal view, the new CD's are excellent !!!!!!
