You are comparing a CD mastered with a Peak of -6dB taken directly from Alan
Parson's master tape to one with a Peak of 0dB taken from the label's
re-mixed master tape. Aside from any differences the tapes may have in EQ
and mix, one is simply louder than the other. If you listen to any CD at one
level then compare it to the same CD with the volume turned up 6dB, the
louder one will sound better.

There have been hundreds of papers and articles written over the years
discussing this very point. With music, louder almost always seems better.

This is why it is so important to balance the levels to less than 0.25dB
when comparing the sound of electronics in ABX tests.

Forget everything you think you may have proven. Erase it from your head.
Then try listening to the Gold CD with the volume turned up 6dB.

stupid and worthless in every possible way, except as an experiment to

what your software can do. ANY signal processing done to a digital audio

case).

So you disagree with Capitol's efforts at digitally remastering the Pink
Floyd catalog too? Gee whiz... Their CDs sound phenomenal!

Go read some more books on digital audio theory and practice, then
consider
what you have done.

Would you suggest the same to Capitol?
