The Alan Parsons Project, Pyramid album, "03 The Eagle Will Rise Again" playback on USB input... better clarity of vocals and instruments' sounds, especially between 100Hz and 2500Hz. On "07 Pyramania" the "yak-yak-yak-yak" sounds like the voice is present, not just vocal notes. In the 1940's and 1950's, the telephone industry found the band of sound frequencies that are hardest to clearly reproduce were voice frequencies... from 100Hz to 3000Hz, what is considered "mid-range". By controlling and EQing the high and low frequencies , telephone designers were able to reduce distortion and make clearer voice communication. Graham's designs are focused on making the sound clarity come to life by controlling the high and low frequencies to remove their influence on the voices' and instruments' true sound... while maintaining a full frequency response that is flat.

Well said Bruce. Sadly hifi does expose bad recordings as much as it rewards the good ones like the Pyramid album.

I was hearing things from my new CD player the other day that said to me, this is not as good a recording as I thought (Radiohead OK Computer) I wish I could hear the remaster before buying.

There is very little, if nothing at all, that one can do to make a bad (or poorly engineered) recording sound any better.

Yes indeed ...i have learned by the beginning of the new century that CD' can be reproduced by many from the ''Original'' Cd not from the Master tape . The advent of CD copy machine became easily and modestly price available. A copy from a copy cannot preserve the full impact and a second copy detail is missed with the cheaper machine reproduction console.
In Europe the have learned do disclose '' or describe '''Original' copy on the packing. But I have learned to chose two particular CD' engineer audio production C for Columbia and S for ....AND also the new upscale remastered of the new century with better engineering console .....makes a big hearing difference of CD reproduction from the early 1980's /early 90's Cds.

I think there are deliberately lofi recordings that are fine if you like the music. In contrast poor quality recordings or media don't improve.

Despite English being a word rich language it often falls short when describing the senses. Perhaps because different people can 'sense' the same thing differently, taste in particular.
I wonder if there will ever be a transducer that will convert sound into taste? That could be interesting, if bizarre!
