In addition, the hiss might give the impression of a brighter sound. I've
listened to the Gold Disc on my headphone stereo set-up (Radio Shack 3400
CD player fed into a DAC-in-the-Box and Headroom headphone amp and
Sennheiser 580's) and it's got plenty of high end. I believe that ICE
reported that the original Polydor CD was mastered from a higher generation
tape, so I suspect that the "clearer and more distinct" instrumentation is
most likely due to the EQ rather than superior source or mastering .
