The amount is not enough to buy a big ticket item and I hate to use to just keep buying the same old stuff. I want to blow it on something I think is overpriced or something I don't think I need.

I'll add money to it. For example, I'm considering the $99 Led Zep Digitally Remastered Box Set, but will this really give me a sound I haven't heard before.....is it that much better?

Ideas please?

I usually use those giftcards on audiobooks honestly. Those things are expensive as hell.

"Digitally Remastered" is code for "sounds flatter".

quote:

Remastered audio has been the subject of criticism.[2][3] Many remastered CDs from the late 1990s onwards have become casualties of the loudness war, where the average volume of the recording is increased at the expense of clarity and dynamic range, making the remastered version sound louder at regular listening volume than an uncompressed version.[2][3] Some have also criticized the overuse of noise reduction in the remastering process, as it affects not only the noise, but the signal too, and can leave audible artifacts

I didn't believe this until I started listening to remastered and original tracks off of iTunes.
