Music should be listened to privately with headphones or ear buds

You must be so much fun to be around. I'm not saying I have 3 15" subwoofers but a lot of MCIS is unlistenable with one top end Alpine 10" subwoofer and high end Alpine speakers all around me. If you have good headphones with a decent low end, such as a nice pair of Sennheisers...guess what? Those two songs will sound bad too.

So, out of curiosity, and I mean this sincerely (i.e., I am, for once, not being a sarcastic jerk): when you hear this kind of difference, do you think it's contingent upon the quality of the speaker/headphone you're using, or would you be able to tell on just about any piece of equipment? Do you have a background in audio production or are you just a casual listener? Are you unusually good at listening or I am unusually awful?

The average sound system (inside or outside) can't produce low enough range to hit the low notes in the music. If you listen to music without subwoofers, you're missing a good quarter of the music. Just saying.

I feel like a quarter has to be an overestimation

It's not. Most speakers that aren't floor standing or high-quality bookshelf get to about 100 Hz at their lowest point. Many recordings go as low as 48 Hz.

Standard shitty iphone/iPod earbuds. For me I think it comes from listening to an album a bajillion times. But I'm also interested in production and like to use words like "headroom"

for what it's worth all you have to do to hear the difference in gish is play the first five seconds of I Am One from each (the original & the remasta)

if there ain't already a "back & forth" on the mellon collie reissue vs. the original on youtube or whatever i might make one in a minute

I'm highly sensitive to audio. I can tell the difference. I'm not trying to be brash, as it could be more of a curse than anything.

I noticed the difference while listening on my car stereo, where I've heard the song and album in question probably ten times.

The remasters are pretty great for the most part. I recently listened to the Gish remaster with headphones and it sounded better than the original.

Hmm, I could probably use something like this -- I haven't actually tried listening to the reissues right up against the originals.

Kind of downhearted that y'all can hear things without the use of unfeasibly expensive audio equipment but also kind of, uh, uphearted at the notion that maybe I just need to stop relying on my memory of what the originals sound like. Thanks for the input, you crazy kids.

Yeah I listened to the porcelina reissue version after reading PRBB's comments and could not discern any damned difference whatsoever

then i perused a bunch of the various reissue tracks, same thing

it was interesting to listen to the different guitar treatment from album to album, though
surprisingly i'd never made direct comparisons before
oceania's sounded so cold and clumpy; i did not care much for it. was my least favorite sound

actually doin this now, & so far the main one that is noticeably different is indeed arms of sleep - & not just the intro, the whole thing is very, very obviously different to the original

whereas porcelina for instance is damn near identical

like bodies is subtle but any differences in porcelina are virtually undetectable, seems like

wow, comparing the remastered lily to the old one makes me think they were goin for some kind of 50s vinyl mastering effect with the original

pretty startling, almost sounds like it's coming out of a telephone or something, i never really noticed before
