Excellent - respect!
One other thing I still want to emphasize with the Steinberg/Pittsburgh Command Classics recordings on which the HDTT issues are based: I grew up with the Command Classics LP's, and, in a number of cases, no other re-masterings or reissues (even from companies which use the original masters) sound as close to those originally issued Command Classics LP's as the HDTT versions do - of course, that's just IMHO.
I know you'll laugh, because you'll surely bring up your point that auditory memory is so short-lived, and therefore untrustworthy. And in the case of my example above, we're talking decades old auditory memories! ;-)
