It seems OK to me. However, compared to the previously issued CD's I had of some of these performances on the Testament label, these discs in the Sony box discs have a bit brighter (some would say more agressive) sound. (Check out the Amazon poster who suggests that the Sony discs were remastered at 128 kbps mp3!) Some discs in the set were better than others, but I attributed that to differences in the original recordings, many of which came from the Dynagroove era and always sounded a bit shrill and compressed IMHO.
