That's true. I have some sort of sensitivity with my ears, especially the left one, where it sort of buzzes when there are certain sounds, and really loud trumpets can do it. Though I can't think of any specific examples of this happening with the soundtracks, it certainly sounds plausible to me.

Well, beware for your left ear then... Both the RSO and the remastered ANH have still strong trumpets, especially for the last battle track(s). I only make the difference between "strong" and 'tooooo strong" ;)

"However, the real surprise is that my remastered version brought sounds that are nearly absent on the RSO, as for archers stroke on cellos on some cues for exemple, and even gratings from the musicians chairs during many silences."

That is really cool. Though it is nice to hear pristine recordings for most types of music, for classical and such, it really makes me feel like there are a ton of people in the room and it is pretty much impossible to keep 100% silent. Can be fun to hear little noises. :)

If one wants to hear music as if he was on stage or at a concert, he won' t be silly enough to think about hidding such "noises", I think. They're all natural. You may find that it gives an unexpected dimension or perhaps even a characteristic tension to the music (listen to "loosing a hand" and "hyperspace" for reference).

This thread reminds me that I got the original 2 LP Star Wars set at Salvation Army a few months ago in perfect shape...for 25 cents! (2001: A Space Odyssey, too)

Of couse it reminds you this, Lol !!!... Little memory you have my friend ! :) (Just check page 19 on GM's thread).
