That's interesting.  I have just received a copy of the remastered Tomita 'Snowflakes are Dancing' and it sounds extraordinary.  But is it because I've been told it will?  Sometimes John and myself get over-sensitised to a particular recording, be it pitch, timbre or some other effect.  You have to walk away and return again another day and the problem has gone.  I like MiniDisc.  It sounds amazing to me, especially at mitigating overly fussy CD sound where it seems to balance out the inherent problems I hear.  I suspect it is psycho acoustic effect but I don't care - it works!  I mistrust mp3 and have several decidedly dodgy recordings in this format.  This may also be psycho acoustic but I suspect it actually is a crap format.

 

Best,
