Hadn't listened to Sector 3 remasters for a while but found the sound really dense so I dug out the corresponding 90's remasters of the albums and they sounded much better. I could turn the volume up and dynamically they sounded great. When I did the following with the Sector 3 remasters the sound tends to get clogged and I'm sure there is clipping happening. I preferred the 90's remaster of Power Windows, that brass burst at the beginning of Territories seems condensed on the Sector 3 version. The harmonics from Alex's guitar in Grand Designs appear clearer in the 90's remaster. A similar thing happens with Signals which I've been listening to a lot lately, I have a remastered version of the Analog Kid on a compilation called Rush Gold and it 'bubbles' along where as the Sector 3 version sounds a bit dense especially in the chorus. I'm beginning to agree with the suggestion that the Sector 3 remasters have sacrificed dynamic range for volume. I have a decent stereo system, the 90' remasters I can crank up and still hear the separation but the Sector 3 versions seem to become more dense and become irritating, if that's the word, to the ear. I know this has been discussed before but have a listen and compare, and keep the discussion friendly. It's only in my opinion and I know there are people who think the Sector 3 versions are a lot better. I have a compilation called Rush - Gold and the songs sound miles better than their Sector versions, looks like it was done by someone called Erick Labson.
