If you drop the emphasis on CDs per se, getting people to release
un-doctored old recordings online may be rather practical....

No, I would not like for CDs to have the over-engineered
releases and the originals be reserved for online. How
about the other way around?

To be practical is not to have dual engineering, and
just have the famous originals, heard by nobody but
the remasterers before they degraded them. Should any
creedence be given to those who say that tape hiss or
mono sound causes Furtwangler to be unlistenable?
There are other mono CDs available, like the Toscanini
box set, are they unlistenable too, or is it just
Furtwangler that is being picked on?

I've started to see a larger smattering of albums released
(simultaneously) in different mixes, etc. They could release both
old &  new versions at once, and let people hear the difference.

Aggressive engineers don't like people to hear
before and after results, because comparison
will guarantee many will not like the revisionism,
and will say so.
