Re: Steven Wilson Remasters

I have the Jethro Tull Stand Up SW remix cd, and it is superb! Drums and bass are more in proper ratio, correcting the recording limitations from 1960’s 70’s recording technology. This led me to buy the SW remix Gentle Giant cds.....even better!!!! This guy will do wonders for the TD 70’s era Virgin releases....

I use EAC aka exact audio copy.There is also db power amp but it's not free.Both very efficient.

I use this:

 1) Rip Blueray with MakeMKV taking only the PCM audio track.
 2) Download FFmpeg binary and open a command prompt (in windows hold shift then right click on the folder).
 4) Enter in ffmpeg -i filename.mkv -acodec flac filename.flac
 4a)ffmpeg -i filename.vob filename.flac

 Thanks for the review, David.  Next question, what’s the best app (PC or Mac) for ripping lossless music from CD’s?

I have a few of the remasters; Yes, JethroTull, etc. I also have the Yes vinyl boxset - bt not heard that yet as it is a Chrimbo prezzy.
 
Quality wise, they are as expected - very good IMHO. He has not changed the presesntation, more enhanced it.

Has anyone bought any of the other Steven Wilson remasters of other bands?  I’ve seen the box set of Yes that he worked on, but I’ve only heard it streamed, which isn’t the best  quality way to hear it.  
 
  Going to be investing in lossless players and higher end headphones next year, so I’d hopefully be able to hear the differences in quality, but haven’t heard anything so far to be able to compare.
