SO LAST NIGHT the Insta-Mom brought over the newly-remastered Beatles Box Set. Listened to Abbey Road and Rubber Soul all the way through. My take: Meh. It’s clearer, but — even listening on the fairly mellow “consumer grade” speakers — the high end sounded overhyped to me. And the increased separation in the background vocals seemed to me to take away from the mixes rather than improve them. I wonder if they didn’t deliberately hype the high end to compensate for boomers’ hearing degradation? Whatever, I wasn’t overwhelmed.
