Amarcarts: Feb 21, 2007; This looks a lot like suffering.

I feel like whenever I search for a song in Spotify there is an original version and a remastered version, usually from sometime in the early/mid 00s. I can sometimes kind of hear a difference but usually not enough to have a strong preference and I don't know that I'd be missing anything if I listened to the original version. Do I need a hi-fi system to hear a major difference? Are these re-releases pure cash grabs or is there some artistic merit or is there a purpose like the original record is in danger of degrading or something?
