After reading this thread I popped in my CD of The Beatles 1967-1970 (Blue CD cover double album) and put it through the system. I love this album, and have been listening to it since my teen years way before I knew about Meridian or could afford anything they make. I haven't listened to this one in a little while, but it sounded really anemic and lifeless. It looks like the mastering was done back in 1987 or '88. I wonder if the 808.2 or apodization would give a substantial improvement?

I would be curious to hear what people on this forum think of the quality of the new releases.
