Came to make a joke about Flac test tones but I like yours too.

If you're not Bernie Grundman, please leave the room.

Jokes aside, the new remasters sound really nice, especially Can't Buy a Thrill, which is almost like a new album. I don't know though what else you could do to the later albums, because their original masters sound great already.

I listen to everything, depends on my mood though. But my listening sessions almost always include electronic music.

I listen to damn near everything.

Lately, I've been on a metal kick, what with the new Metallica album stirring that urge. Before that it was mostly Americana, with an emphasis on bluegrass. It goes in waves like that for me, where most of what I play is within a general "vibe", though not necessarily the same genre exactly.

This is such a hard question to answer, but recently last dinosaurs, I really like their sound.
Also betcha, an underrated band with amazing talent and sound, my favorite song from them is July.

My go-tos are Rush, Tool, Amon Tobin, Daft Punk, and Ed Rush + Optical.

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard is growing on me a lot (more just for fun than for being particularly well-mastered...).

Been listening to some Daft Punk recently. Never realized how well mastered it is until now

Yeah, it's kind of stunning. I'd always enjoyed it, but I've grown to really respect how good a job they did together.

Thomas Bangalter actually released a classical album since the split (I haven't checked it out, but I haven't heard great things about it): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mythologies_(ballet)
